CT-based Radiomic Analysis for Prediction of Treatment Response of Salvage Chemoradiotherapy for Loco-regional Lymph Node Recurrence After Curative Esophagectomy
Abstract:Objective: To investigate the capability of computed tomography (CT) radiomic features to predict the therapeutic response and local control of the loco-regional recurrence lymph node (LN) after curative esophagectomy by chemoradiotherapy (CRT).Methods: This retrospective study included 129 LN from 77 patients (training cohort: 102 LN from 59 patients; validation cohort: 27 LN from 18 patients) with postoperative esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The region of the tumor was contoured in pretreatment c… Show more
