Summary

This study aims to develop a predictive model using deep learning and radiomics to assess the likelihood of lymph node metastasis in patients with early-stage esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Lymph node metastasis is a critical factor in determining the treatment approach and prognosis for ESCC patients. By analyzing medical imaging data, we hope to create a non-invasive method that can assist doctors in making more accurate treatment decisions. This research could improve patient outcomes by enabling earlier and more tailored interventions.
