A leakage-controlled multimodal model integrating 18F-FDG PET/CT radiomics, deep-learning features, metabolic parameters and haematological inflammation–nutrition indices for preoperative prediction of axillary lymph-node metastasis in invasive breast cancer

The status of the axillary lymph nodes (ALN) guides staging and the extent of axillary surgery in invasive breast cancer, yet confirmation still depends on sentinel lymph-node biopsy or axillary dissection. This exploratory study developed and internally evaluated, by cross-validation, a model combining five co...
