Abstract

BACKGROUND: In solid-predominantly invasive lung adenocarcinoma (SPILAC), occult lymph node metastasis (OLNM) is pivotal for determining treatment strategies. This study seeks to develop and validate a fusion model combining radiomics and deep learning to predict OLNM preoperatively in SPILAC patients across multiple centers.
