Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Pancreatic cancer is lethal and prevalent among other cancer types. The recurrence of this tumor is high, especially in patients who did not receive adjuvant therapies. Early prediction of PC recurrence has a significant role in enhancing patients' prognosis and survival. So far, machine learning techniques have given us insight into favorable performance efficiency in various medical domains. So, this study aims to establish a prediction model based on machine learning to achieve better prediction on this topic.
