    A CT-based radiomics nomogram was developed to predict lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in colorectal cancer (CRC) preoperatively.

  • 2

    The study included 360 CRC patients, with 252 in the training set and 108 in the validation set, assessing LVI status post-surgery.

  • 3

    Key predictors of LVI identified were tumor volume, maximum diameter, depth of invasion, and several clinical factors.

  • 4

    The nomogram demonstrated good predictive performance with AUC values of 0.776 in training and 0.722 in validation sets.

  • 5

    This non-invasive tool enhances preoperative assessment and may improve individualized treatment strategies for CRC patients.
