Clinician-deployable deep hypergraph model integrating clinical and CT radiomics predicts immunotherapy outcomes in NSCLC
Current image-based deep learning models that predict the benefits of immunotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) require high-performance hardware. We aimed to develop and externally validate a clinician-operable prognostic model that integrates clinical and imaging data in a format usable…
