A Machine Learning Model for Predicting Breast Cancer Recurrence and Supporting Personalized Treatment Decisions Through Comprehensive Feature Selection and Explainable Ensemble Le... by Lee TF, Shiau JP, Chen CH, Yun WP, Wuu CS, Huang YJ, Yeh SA, Chen HC, Chao PJ

“…However, traditional risk prediction models often lack accuracy and do not fully capture the complexity of patient data.This study developed an ensemble learning model to predict breast cancer recurrence more accurately by integrating LASSO feature selection and multiple machine learning models. Using data from 1,131 breast cancer patients, the model identified six key predictors of recurrence, including lymph node positivity, ER status, Ki-67, lymphovascular invasion, tumor size, and age at diagnosis. …”
