Abstract

BACKGROUND: Lung adenocarcinoma is a common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and accurate EGFR genotyping is crucial for optimal treatment outcomes. Conventional methods for identifying the EGFR genotype have several limitations. Therefore, we proposed a deep learning model using non-invasive CT images to predict EGFR mutation status with robustness and generalizability.
