Abstract

BACKGROUND: The relationship between cytokines and lung metastasis (LM) in breast cancer (BC) remains unclear and current clinical methods for identifying breast cancer lung metastasis (BCLM) lack precision, thus underscoring the need for an accurate risk prediction model. This study aimed to apply machine learning algorithms for identifying the key risk factors for BCLM before developing a reliable prediction model centered on cytokines.
