Abstract

BACKGROUND: Deep learning can assess the individual survival prognosis in sizeable datasets with intricate underlying processes. However, studies exploring the performance of deep learning survival in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) are lacking. This study aimed to construct a deep learning model based on clinical risk factors for survival prediction in patients with PTC.
