contents In patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer and negative PSMA PET/CT, radiomics features extracted from recurrence-prone organs can predict clinical progression and progression-free survival. In a cohort of 132 patients, combining PET/CT radiomics with clinical variables significantly improved prognostic performance (C-index 0.74 vs. 0.65). Model performance was influenced by reader diagnostic certainty and remained robust on external validation. These findings suggest that radiomics from visually negative scans capture subclinical disease and provide added value for risk stratification.
