Letter to the editor: radiomics analysis for predicting pembrolizumab response in patients with advanced rare cancers

J Immunother Cancer. 2021 Jul;9(7):e003044. doi: 10.1136/jitc-2021-003044.

Abstract

A commentary on the original research article: 'Radiomics analysis for predicting pembrolizumab response in patients with advanced rare cancers'. Of note, the predictor selection process, the cross-validation method, along with the lack of final testing of the developed model with a separated data set may mask overfitting, overestimating performance metrics.

Keywords: immunotherapy.
