Abstract
BACKGROUND: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common brain tumor in the United States, with an annual incidence rate of 3.21 per 100,000. It is the most aggressive type of diffuse glioma and has a median survival of months after treatment. This study aims to assess the accuracy of different novel deep learning models trained on a set of simple clinical, demographic, and surgical variables to assist in clinical practice, even in areas with constrained health care infrastructure.
