Abstract

PURPOSE: Despite the rising incidence of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), mortality rates have remained relatively low yet crucial for effective patient management. This study aims to develop a deep neural network capable of predicting mortality in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer.
