Abstract

PURPOSE: We develop a deep learning (DL) radiomics model and integrate it with circulating tumor cell (CTC) counts as a clinically useful prognostic marker for predicting recurrence outcomes of early-stage (ES) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).
