Stage-Specific Predictive Models For Cancer Survivability, Elham Sagheb Hossein Pour
Stage-Specific Predictive Models For Cancer Survivability, Elham Sagheb Hossein Pour
Theses and Dissertations
Survivability of cancer strongly depends on the stage of cancer. In most previous works, machine learning survivability prediction models for a particular cancer, were trained and evaluated together on all stages of the cancer. In this work, we trained and evaluated survivability prediction models for five major cancers, together on all stages and separately for every stage. We named these models joint and stage-specific models respectively. The obtained results for the cancers which we investigated reveal that, the best model to predict the survivability of the cancer for one specific stage is the model which is specifically built for that …
