Radiomics and prognostic nutritional index for predicting postoperative survival in esophageal carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Surgery offers the potential for a radical cure and prolonged survival in individuals diagnosed with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, survival rates exhibit significant variability among patients. Accurately assessing surgical outcomes remains a critical challenge. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of preoperative radiomics and the prognostic nutritional index for individuals with ESCC and to develop a comprehensive model for estimating postoperative overall survival (OS) in these patients.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted on 466 patients with ESCC from two medical centers. The dataset was randomly divided into a training cohort (TC, hospital 1, 246 cases), an internal validation cohort (IVC, hospital 1, 106 cases),
