Abstract

BACKGROUND: Nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) is a clinical challenge due to the high progression rate to metastasis and mortality. To date, no prognostic model has been developed to predict the metastatic probability for nmCRPC patients. In this study, we developed and externally validated a machine-learning model capable of calculating risk scores and predicting the likelihood of metastasis in nmCRPC patients.
