A deep learning MR-based radiomic nomogram may predict survival for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with stage T3N1M0

Purpose To estimate the prognostic value of deep learning (DL) magnetic resonance (MR)-based radiomics for stage T3N1M0 nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients receiving induction chemotherapy (ICT) prior to concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). Methods A total of 638 stage T3N1M0 NPC patients (training cohort: n = 447; test cohort: n = 191) were enrolled and underwent MRI scans before receiving ICT + CCRT. From the pretreatment MR images,...
