A standard radiomics pipeline allowed for prediction of PFS in a multicenter HNC cohort. Applying a specific strategy of ComBat harmonization improved the performance. The extraction of intra-tumoral sub-volume features and automatic segmentation could contribute to the improvement and automation of prognosis modeling, respectively.
