Bladder and Urothelial Cancer Treatments oncology stage: research
Problem
Predicting cancer recurrence and survival one, three, and five years after radical cystectomy in bladder cancer patients.
Why it matters
Prognosis after cystectomy determines monitoring schedules and neoadjuvant/adjuvant treatment decisions.
What the AI did
Information theory and machine learning algorithms built predictive models on a prospective dataset of 3503 patients (1971-2016).
Results
Recurrence and survival predicted with greater than 70% sensitivity and specificity at one, three, and five years.
Impact
Models may inform patient monitoring schedules and post-cystectomy treatments, per the authors.
