Objective: Machine learning (ML) has enabled healthcare discoveries by facilitating efficient modeling, such as for cancer screening. Unlike clinical trials, real-world data used in ML are often gathered for multiple purposes, leading to bias and missing information for a specific classification task. This challenge is especially pronounced in healthcare because of stringent ethical considerations and resource constraints.

Department of Integrative Biological Sciences and BK21 FOUR Educational Research Group for Age-Associated Disorder Control Technology, Chosun University, Gwangju, 61452, Republic of Korea.

Despite advances in gastric cancer diagnosis and treatment, its prognosis remains poor owing to aggressive tumor progression and metastasis. As understanding the relevant molecular mechanisms is essential to effectively improve patient outcomes, we elucidated the role of Kindlin-1 in gastric cancer progression and metastasis. Kindlin-1 expression was analyzed in 359 gastric cancer tissue samples provided by Kangnam Sacred Heart Hospital and publicly available GSE datasets.
