Preoperative CT–based Radiomics for Predicting Response to Neoadjuvant Chemoimmunotherapy in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Key Points

• The research aims to assess the effectiveness of a CT-based radiomic model in predicting treatment response to neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
• Developed a radiomic model using preoperative CT scans.
• Validated the model across multiple centers.
• Compared prediction accuracy with conventional methods.
• The radiomic model accurately predicted treatment responses.
• Validation across multicenter groups confirmed its reliability.
• Enhanced treatment planning was suggested based on predictions.
