Evaluation of classification and regression tree (CART) model in weight loss prediction following head and neck cancer radiation therapy

Evaluation of classification and regression tree (CART) model in weight loss prediction following head and neck cancer radiation therapy

Objective: We explore whether a knowledge–discovery approach building a Classification and Regression Tree (CART) prediction model for weight loss (WL) in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients treated with radiation therapy (RT) is feasible. Methods and materials: HNC patients from 2007 to 2015 were i...
