arXiv:2607. 13826v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate determination of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) resectability relies on evaluating how the tumor interacts with major peripancreatic vessels on CT imaging, yet expert assessment often shows substantial variability.
arXiv:2602. 04819v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Accurate risk stratification of precancerous polyps during routine colonoscopy screening is a key strategy to reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC).

The paper presents an automated segmentation pipeline for whole‑slide histopathology images of colorectal cancer, labeling tumor grades 1‑3 and normal mucosa. It employs dense prediction transformers with multiple encoder backbones, overlapping patches, test‑time augmentation, and an adaptive augmentation policy guided by large language models. The approach, combined with soft‑voting ensembles and post‑processing refinements, raises the F1 score from 62.92 to 69.84 on a colorectal cancer grade dataset.
arXiv:2606. 16991v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multiphasic contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) is widely used for abdominal lesion characterization, yet it carries inherent risks of contrast-induced nephropathy, escalates acquisition burden, and heavily contributes to radiologist workload.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most deadly and third most common cancer, and the leading cause of death among gastrointestinal cancers. Early diagnosis is crucial for the treatment of this canc...
arXiv:2608. 15915v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, while histopathological diagnosis is often affected by inter-observer variability and the substantial workload associated with manual slide examination.
Merlin Plus is a new, large-scale CT dataset that provides radiologist‑created tumor masks for nine different organs, adding 1,153 per‑voxel masks and longitudinal metadata to the existing Merlin collection. The dataset was built using a report‑based active‑learning framework, where radiology reports flag tumor cases, a segmentation model generates initial masks, and radiologists review and correct them, thereby reducing annotation effort while preserving high quality. The added longitudinal data enables temporal modeling of cancer progression, supporting scalable multi‑organ cancer detection, segmentation, and longitudinal analysis in CT.
This study introduces a computationally efficient convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture enhanced with transfer learning for multi-cancer detection using biomedical images. The proposed lightweight CNN model is designed to reduce computational complexity while maintaining high classification performance, making it suitable for deployment in resource-constrained environments.
arXiv:2606. 06983v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computational pathology requires visual representations that transfer across diverse clinical endpoints and remain robust to variation in magnification, staining, scanner type, slide preparation, and input resolution.
