Abstract

BACKGROUND: Radiation-induced esophagitis remains a significant challenge in thoracic and neck cancer treatment, impacting patient quality of life and potentially limiting therapeutic efficacy. This study aimed to develop and validate a decision tree-based model for predicting acute esophagitis grades in patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy.
