Natural killer (NK) cells are crucial for tumor prognosis; however, their role in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear. The current detection methods NSCLC inefficient and costly. Therefore, radiomics represent a promising alternative. We analyzed the radiogenomics datasets to extract clinical, radiological, transcriptome data. effect of NK on prognosis was assessed. Tumors were delineated using 3D Slicer, features extracted pyradiomics. A model developed validated five-fold cross-validation. nomogram constructed selected clinical variables radiomic score (RS). CIBERSORTx database gene set enrichment analysis used explore correlations cell infiltration molecular mechanisms. Higher correlated with better overall survival (OS) (P = 0.002). showed an area under curve 0.731, 0.726 post-validation. RS differed significantly between high low < 0.01). nomogram, variables, effectively predicted 3-year OS.
