Abstract

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Accurate pretreatment assessment of histological differentiation grade of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is crucial for prognosis evaluation. This study aimed to construct and validate a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT)-based deep learning radiomics nomogram (DLRN) to predict histological differentiation grades of HNSCC.
