Interpretable machine learning model for brain metastasis in breast cancer: a large-scale, multicenter study.
Machine learning can identify breast cancer patients at high risk for brain spread, enabling earlier monitoring and preventive strategies.
This large-scale multicenter study developed and validated an interpretable ML model for predicting brain metastasis, a common and devastating complication in advanced breast cancer with poor prognosis and limited effective treatments. Accurate early identification of high-risk patients using interpretable ML could enable intensified surveillance, prophylactic strategies, and targeted treatment allocation for this high-mortality complication.
