A 8-year-old boy was admitted to our hospital with complaint of cough and abnormal shadow on chest X-ray. Bronchoscopy and biopsy revealed a bronchial mucoepidermoid carcinoma, which obstructed right main bronchus. Right upper sleeve lobectomy was performed. The histological examination revealed a low grade malignant mucoepidermoid carcinoma. There were no metastases in the mediastinal lymph nodes. He has been healthy with no evidence of recurrence during 4 years after operation.

A major paradigm shift in the diagnosis, management, and survival outcomes of early and advanced non-small cell lung cancer has transpired over the past few decades in thoracic oncology with the incorporation of molecular testing, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, neoadjuvant, and adjuvant approaches. However, transformation in the management and survival outcomes of rare lung tumors is lacking. Given the scarcity of these tumor types, randomized trials are rarely performed, and treatment is extrapolated from case series, tumor-agnostic trials, or cancers with similar histology.

Background: Oral cancer, particularly mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC), presents diagnostic challenges due to its histological diversity and rarity. This study aimed to develop machine learning (ML) models to predict survival outcomes for MEC patients and pioneer a clinically accessible prognostic tool.
Methods: Using the SEER database (2000-2020), we constructed predictive models with five ML algorithms: Random Forest Classifier (RFC), Gradient Boosting Classifier (GBC), Logistic Regression (LR), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP).
