Evaluating complete response prediction rates in locally advanced rectal cancer with different radiomics segmentation approaches

CONCLUSION: Although the highest AUC result is obtained from the tumor segmentation, the highest accuracy and sensitivity are detected with tumor+mesorectum segmentation and these findings align with previous studies, suggesting that the mesorectum contains valuable insights for CR. The lowest result is obtained with CTV segmentation. More studies with mesorectum and pelvic nodal regions included in segmentation are needed.PMID:38694706 | PMC:PMC11061551 | DOI:10.3389/pore.2024.1611744
