Can CT measures of tumour heterogeneity stratify risk for nodal metastasis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer?

•CT texture analysis (CTTA) is emerging as a technique for derivation of prognostic biomarkers for patients with NSCLC. •CT texture analysis evaluates quantitatively tumour heterogeneity, which is linked to tumour aggression. •CTTA in NSCLC is related to nodal status in patients without distal metastases and has potential to inform selection of investigative strategies for the assessment of mediastinal malignancy. Aim To undertake a preliminary...
