Article Synopsis
- Approximately 25% of patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) who are considered node negative actually have hidden lymph node metastases when examined after surgery.
- The study focused on using preoperative CT scans and machine learning techniques to try to distinguish between those with positive lymph node involvement (pN+) and those without (pN0) in clinical stage MIBC patients.
- Despite analyzing a significant number of patients and lymph nodes, the study found that CT-based radiomics did not effectively differentiate between pN+ and pN0, performing no better than random chance.
