A deep learning MR-based radiomic nomogram may predict survival for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with stage T3N1M0

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has an unbalanced geographical distribution, with the highest incidence reported in Southeast Asia [1]. There were 129,000 new cases of NPC in 2018 [2] and approximately 70% of them were locoregionally advanced at diagnosis [3]. For patients with locoregionally advanced NPC (LANPC), concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) with or without induction chemotherapy (ICT) is recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Networkguidelines [4].
