Abstract:Purpose/Objective(s): PET/CT has a key role in the management of esophageal cancer; however, improved prediction models would be useful for clinical decision making. In particular, ability to predict pathologic complete response (pCR) to chemoradiation would help spare patients from an esophagectomy, a high-risk procedure with significant morbidity. Machine learning is a promising approach to develop models that can predict unseen data, but the efficacy of these models in predicting the onset of esophageal can… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
