Abstract

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women, and it is important to identify models that can accurately predict mortality in patients with this cancer. The aim of the present study was to use the elastic net regression and artificial neural network (ANN) models in diagnosing and predicting factors affecting BC mortality. A cross-sectional study.
