Prediction of Early Recurrence After Bronchial Arterial Chemoembolization in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patients Using Dual-energy CT: An Interpretable Model Based on SHAP Methodology.

Rationale And Objectives: Bronchial artery chemoembolization (BACE) is a new treatment method for lung cancer. This study aimed to investigate the ability of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) to predict early recurrence (ER) after BACE among patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who failed first-line therapy.

Materials And Methods: Clinical and imaging data from NSCLC patients undergoing BACE at Wenzhou Medical University Affiliated Fifth *** Hospital (10/2023-06/2024) were retrospectively analyzed.
