Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for analyzing a tumor, and more specifically, analyzing a tumor to identify a biological aggressiveness of the tumor. One example method for tumor analysis includes: receiving one or more input features associated with a geometric shape of a tumor, the one or more input features including at least a value indicating a circularity of the tumor; determining, via a machine learning component, a characteristic of the tumor based on the one or more input features, the characteristic being indicative of patient survivability; and outputting an indication of the characteristic.

Abstract: Drug-eluting devices and methods for the treatment of tumors of the pancreas, biliary system, gallbladder, liver, small bowel, or colon, are provided. Methods include deploying a drug-eluting device having a film which includes a mixture of a degradable polymer and a chemotherapeutic drug, wherein the film has a thickness from about 2 ?m to about 1000 ?m, into a tissue site and releasing a therapeutically effective amount of the chemotherapeutic drug from the film to treat the tumor, wherein the release of the therapeutically effective amount of the drug from the film is controlled by in vivo degradation of the polymer at the tissue site.
