We tested the hypothesis that noninvasively captured baseline whole-lung radiomics features from CT images, baseline clinical parameters, combined with advanced machine learning approaches, can help to build models of patient survival that compare favorably with PD-L1 status for predicting ‘less-than-median-survival risk’ in the metastatic NSCLC setting for patients on durvalumab. This evidence concerns the gene CD274 and non-small cell lung carcinoma.
