Machine learning to predict occult metastatic lymph nodes along the recurrent laryngeal nerves in thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract Purpose Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) metastasizes in an unpredictable fashion to adjacent lymph nodes, including those along the recurrent laryngeal nerves (RLNs). This study is to apply machine learning (ML) for prediction of RLN node metastasis in ESCC. Methods The dataset co...
