LUNG CANCER
The main problem of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for lymph node (LN) staging is the high false positive rate (FPR). Thus, we aimed to explore a clinico-biological-radiomics (CBR) model via machine learning (ML) to reduce FPR and improve the accuracy for predicting the hypermetabolic mediastinal–hilar LNs status in lung cancer than conventional PET/CT.
