Radiomic features associated with recurrence in a case:control cohort of surgically treated HPV+ OPSCC
Despite the more favorable prognosis of HPV-associated OPSCC, a subset of these patients are not cured by initial therapy. At presentation, conventional staging and smoking history have poor ability to predict recurrence and survival of the HPV+ OPSCCs undergoing transoral robotic surgery (TORS) followed by pathology-guided adjuvant therapy. In order to enhance prediction of oncologic outcomes under this treatment paradigm, we evaluated a machine learning approach to identify radiomic characteristics that distinguish the patients who subsequently recurred.
