Predicting Disease-Free Lung Cancer Survival Using Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) Measurements with Comparisons of Five Machine Learning Techniques (MLT).

The study was to develop the lung cancer patients' prediction model for predicting 5-year survival after completion of treatment by using Machine Learning Technology (MLT), adding patient reporting (PRO) measurements of lung cancer survivors to a variety of clinical parameters. Finally, the survival prediction models with the addition of lung cancer survivors' PRO measurements to the well-known clinical variables, based on diverse MLT, improved the predictive performance that explains 5-year disease-free lung cancer survival.
