Survival rates after surgery for gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms (g-NENs) are low, and traditional prognostic models like the CoxPH show limited ability to predict patient outcomes post-surgery.
Machine learning techniques, particularly the random survival forest (RSF) model, can analyze complex data to improve predictions of survival outcomes.
The study highlights that the RSF model, which uses the lymph node ratio (LNR), is more effective than CoxPH in predicting disease-specific survival in g-NEN patients and could lead to better personalized treatment strategies.
A recent study by Hong developed an AI-driven prediction system to assess complications for patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
This new system uses random forest models and incorporates data from various medical centers to improve prediction accuracy and patient management.
The research emphasizes AI's role in clinical decision support and suggests potential for future studies to enhance AI applications in diagnosing and treating gastric cancer.
