Abstract

Background/Objectives: Outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain heterogeneous, even within stage and molecular subtypes. We evaluated whether a Computational Histology Artificial Intelligence (CHAI) biomarker, derived solely from the diagnostic hematoxylin-and-eosin (H&E) whole-slide image (WSI), provides prognostic information independent of established clinicopathologic factors. Met…
