Developing a multiomics data-based mathematical model to predict colorectal cancer recurrence and metastasis.

BACKGROUND

Colorectal cancer is the fourth most deadly cancer, with a high mortality rate and a high probability of recurrence and metastasis. Since continuous examinations and disease monitoring for patients after surgery are currently difficult to perform, it is necessary for us to develop a predictive model for colorectal cancer metastasis and recurrence to improve the survival rate of patients.

RESULTS

Previous studies mostly used only clinical or radiological data, which are not sufficient to explain the in-depth mechanism of colorectal cancer recurrence and metastasis. Therefore, this study proposes such a multiomics data-based predictive model for the recurrence and metastasis of colorectal cancer. LR, SVM, Naïve-bayes and ensemble learning models are used to build this predictive model.

CONCLUSIONS

The experimental results indicate that our proposed multiomics data-based ensemble learning model effectively predicts the recurrence and metastasis of colorectal cancer.
