Description
Wencan Wang leads a 2026 multicenter study building a deep learning tool to predict neck lymph node spread in voice box cancer before surgery. Standard scans miss many small spread sites, so the tool reads contrast scans while mapping varied zones inside the main tumor. Records for 381 patients supplied training and outside testing. Performance was compared with standard image features and with a three-dimensional learning model, alone and combined.
The zone-aware model beat both comparison models in outside testing. A combined stack of all three models scored highest overall. Both the zone-aware and combined models also separated patients into survival groups with clearly different outcomes. The authors present the tool as support for personal surgical planning, pending wider validation.
