Using metabolism measures and machine learning to predict progression of esophageal squamous cell cancer

AI simplified

Abstract

A based on five blood indicators achieved an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.89 for predicting outcomes in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients.

  • Five independent prognostic indicators for overall survival in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were identified: alkaline phosphatase, free fatty acids, homocysteine, lactate dehydrogenase, and triglycerides.
  • A metabolism score was developed from these five indicators, serving as an independent prognostic factor.
  • The nomogram created using the metabolism score and clinical features provided a robust method for predicting patient prognosis.
  • The random forest model demonstrated superior predictive ability with an AUC of 0.90 and accuracy of 86%.
  • An online predictive tool was established utilizing the random forest model for practical application in clinical settings.
