Unraveling the power of radiomics: prediction and exploration of lymph node metastasis in stage T1/2 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract Accurate assessment of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in T1/2-stage esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is critical for treatment planning but remains challenging due to diagnostic inaccuracies and unclear metastatic mechanisms. This study aimed to predict LNM in T1/2-stage ESCC using ma...
