    Non-small cell lung cancer with pleural dissemination is classified as stage M1a, with a median survival time of 4–11.5 months.

  • 2

    Occult pleural dissemination occurs in 0.9–6.2% of operable NSCLC patients, often diagnosed unexpectedly during surgery.

  • 3

    The study aims to develop a noninvasive tool for preoperative identification of occult pleural dissemination in high-risk NSCLC patients.

  • 4

    A hybrid model combining radiomics and deep learning is hypothesized to outperform single-modality strategies in predicting occult pleural dissemination.

  • 5

    The study enrolled 163 NSCLC patients with confirmed occult pleural dissemination and utilized data from three high-volume centers in China.
