Abstract

BACKGROUND: Accurate segmentation of lung tumors on chest computed tomography (CT) scans is crucial for effective diagnosis and treatment planning. Deep Learning (DL) has emerged as a promising tool in medical imaging, particularly for lung cancer segmentation. However, its efficacy across different clinical settings and tumor stages remains variable.
