autosegmentation that predicts the number of lymph nodes with extranodal extension in patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma.<\/li>\n<li>This tool helps in identifying patients requiring intensive interventions or suitable for clinical trials involving strategies like immunotherapy or additional chemotherapy.<\/li>\n<li>The study, conducted at three institutions, involved 1,733 patients and utilized a deep learning model to analyze CT scans, focusing on predicting extranodal extension.<\/li>\n<li>The AI-predicted number of lymph nodes with extranodal extension was found to be independently associated with worse distant control and overall survival in the patients.<\/li>\n<li>Integrating AI-predicted extranodal extension numbers with Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) and American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) risk groupings and staging improved the prognostic accuracy for overall survival and distant control.<\/li>\n<li>The greatest improvement in prognostic accuracy was seen in HPV-negative patients, with a significant increase in concordance indices for overall survival and distant control.<\/li>\n<li>This AI tool is potentially transformative for risk stratification, improving current staging schemes, and tailoring treatment strategies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI-Based Imaging Model Predicts
