NON-INVASIVE RADIOMIC SIGNATURE TO PREDICT RESPONSE TO SYSTEMIC TREATMENT IN SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER (SCLC)

Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a method for predicting a response to treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The method includes generating a radiomic risk score (RRS) for the patient based on a plurality of radiomic features, wherein the RRS is prognostic of overall survival (OS) of the patient.
