Abstract

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy has improved outcomes for some esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients, but accurate pre-treatment risk stratification remains a critical gap. This study constructed a deep learning (DL) model to predict survival outcomes in ESCC patients receiving immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy.
