Preoperative computed tomography semantic features in predicting lymph node metastasis of part-solid nodules in non-small cell lung cancer: a multicenter retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is the most common route of metastasis for lung cancer, and it is an independent risk factor for long-term survival and recurrence in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The purpose of this study was to explore the value of preoperative computed tomography (CT) semantic features in the differential diagnosis of LNM in part-solid nodules (PSNs) of NSCLC.

Methods

A total of 955 patients with NSCLC confirmed by postoperative pathology were retrospectively enrolled from January 2019 to March 2023. The clinical, pathological data and preoperative CT images of these patients were investigated and statistically analyzed in order to identify the risk factors for LNM. Multivariate logistic regression was used to select independent
