Abstract
Pathologic visceral pleural invasion (VPI) in patients with early-stage lung cancer can result in the upstaging of T1 to T2, in addition to having implications for surgical resection and prognostic outcomes. This study was designed with the goal of establishing and validating a CT-based deep learning (DL) model capable of predicting VPI status and stratifying patients based on their prognostic outcomes. In total, 2077 patients from three centers with pathologically confirmed clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinoma were enrolled. DL signatures were extracted with a 3D residual neural network. DL model was able to effectively predict VPI status. VPI predicted by the DL models, as well as pathologic VPI, was associated with shorter disease-free survival. The established deep learning signature provides a tool capable of aiding the accurate prediction of VPI in patients with clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinoma, thus enabling prognostic stratification.
