Summary: Lymph node metastasis is an important factor affecting treatment decisions and prognosis in patients with cervical cancer, but it is difficult to accurately assess before surgery using conventional imaging methods. In this study, we developed a new prediction model based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics that takes tumor heterogeneity into account. By dividing tumors into different intratumoral subregions (habitats) and combining imaging features with clinical information, we were able to more accurately predict pelvic lymph node metastasis in patients with early-stage cervical cancer. Our results show that this habitat-based radiomics model performs better than traditional clinical or whole-tumor radiomics models and may help clinicians better plan individualized treatment strategies before surgery.
