Abstract
BACKGROUND: Evidence is limited on whether patients with advanced pulmonary carcinoid (APC) benefit from comprehensive pulmonary resection (CPR), chemotherapy, or radiotherapy. Existing prognostic models for APC are limited and do not guide treatment selection. This study aims to develop and evaluate a multivariable machine learning model to predict overall survival in APC patients and provide a web-based prognostic tool.
