Deep Learning Based Recurrence Prediction in Head and Neck Cancers after Radiotherapy

Nearly half of patients with head and neck (H&N) cancers experience recurrence, yet the challenge of prognosticating high-risk individuals for intensified radiotherapy persists. Here we aimed to develop a deep learning (DL) model for predicting H&N cancer recurrence based on clinical and radiomic features (texture, shape, intensity) from radiation planning CT simulation scans.
