Abstract

PURPOSE: Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a highly aggressive and lethal thyroid cancer subtype with a poor prognosis. Recent advancements in machine learning (ML) have the potential to improve survival predictions. This study aimed to develop and validate ML models using the SEER database to predict 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month (overall survival) OS in ATC patients.
