“…This strategy has shown a great potential for improved diagnostic and prognostic in a wide range of cancer types (16)(17)(18)(19). Few studies have suggested improvement in preoperative prediction of LNM by using different modalities-based radiomics analysis in cervical cancers (20)(21)(22)(23). However, these studies might suffer from relatively small sample sizes, analysis of single sequence or Abbreviations: LNM, lymph node metastasis; PLND, pelvic lymph node dissection; FIGO, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; CSCC, cervical squamous cell cancer; DWI, diffusion-weighted imaging; FOV, field of view; ADC, apparent diffusion coefficient; ROI, region of interest; GLCM, gray-level co-occurrence matrix; GLRLM, gray-level run length matrix; GLSZM, gray-level size zone matrix; NGTDM, neighboring gray tone difference matrix; GLDM, gray-level dependence matrix; LoG, Laplacian of Gaussian; ICC, interclass correlation coefficient; MRMR, minimum redundancy maximum relevance; LASSO, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator; ROC, receiver operating characteristic; DCA, decision curve analysis.…”
