Abstract

BACKGROUND: Deep learning methods have great potential to predict treatment response. The objective of this study was to evaluate and validate the predictive performance of the computed tomography (CT)-based model using deep learning features for identification of responders and nonresponders to induction chemotherapy (IC) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
