Summary

This retrospective study was to develop and verify CT-based AI model to preoperatively predict the thyroid cartilage invasion of laryngeal cancer patients, so as to provide more accurate diagnosis and treatment basis for clinicians. In addition, the researchers investigated the prediction of survival outcomes of patients by the above optimal models.

Detailed description

Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), as one of the most common head and neck tumors, is the eighth leading cause of cancer-associated death worldwide. The treatment decisions has a profound impact on both tumor control and functional prognosis of LSCC patients. And these decisions are primarily based on tumor staging, with the invasion of the thyroid cartilage serving as a crucial determinant. Consequently, the presence of thyroid cartilage invasion indicates an advanced stage (T3 or T4) diagnosis for the LSCC patients. For patients without thyroid cartilage invasion, partial laryngectomy may be considered to preserve laryngeal function. However, for patients with advanced laryngeal carcinoma and thyroid cartilage invasion extending beyond the larynx, total laryngectomy is often necessary to completely remove the tumor and extend survival time. Therefore, accurate assessment of thyroid cartilage invasion is vital for treatment decision-making and prognosis evaluation for LSCC patients.
