Abstract

OBJECTIVE: If excellent response (ER) occurs after radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC), the recurrence rate is low. Our study aims to predict ER at 6-24 months after RAI by using machine learning (ML) methods in which clinicopathological parameters are included in patients with DTC without distant metastasis.
