Deep Learning and Radiomics Based Outcome Prediction for Cancer Patients
… and neck cancer (HNC) patients for locoregional recurrence (LRR) before radiotherapy using clinical data and PET/CT imaging. In addition, we developed a DL segmentation model to guide the extraction of radiomics features for HNC recurrence-free survival (RFS) prediction using data collected …

Treatment outcomes of Her-2 positive Breast Cancer in the absence of Her-2 targeting agents at Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa. Are we doing enough?
… treatment significantly improves disease-free survival and overall survival of women with early-stage Her-2 positive breast cancer. However, at Groote Schuur Hospital anti-Her-2 targeted treatment is not available. We have therefore evaluated to what extent our patients may be …

Tumour infiltrating T cells in non-small cell lung cancer and their interactions with cancer-associated fibroblasts
… of CD39 amongst CD4+ T cells relates to poor recurrence free survival (RFS), whereas a high density of CD39+CD103+CD8+ T cells within tumour nest areas relates to improved survival at 5 years. In the second results chapter, bulk RNASeq (Nanostring nCounter) was used to assess the phenotype of …

The perioperative setting as a platform for breast cancer biomarker development
… therapy, is an accepted surrogate marker for survival outcomes in clinical trials (2). An advantage of the neoadjuvant setting is that tumour response to treatment can be assessed through tissue-based, biochemical, or radiologic changes throughout administration of therapy; allowing valuable …

Development and validation of risk prediction model for colorectal cancer in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms
… and 0.9 million CRC deaths. The overall 5-year survival rate of CRC is approximately 60%, showing an increasing trend by year. Early CRC diagnosis and timely treatment could largely prevent cancer deterioration. Early diagnosis could be enhanced through risk prediction models. Prediction model …
