  1. AUROCs for LNM predictions for logistic regressions with various feature sets. Clinical baseline clinicopathologic variables (age, sex, tumor grade, T-category, lymphatic invasion, venous invasion). Clinical+ML baseline clinicopathologic variables plus 5 machine-learned features. Delta the difference between Clinical + AI and Clinical. 95% confidence intervals computed via bootstrapping.
