Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Spinal chordomas are locally aggressive and frequently recurrent tumors with a poor prognosis. Previous studies focused on a Cox regression model to predict the survival of patients with spinal chordoma. We aimed to develop a more effective model based on deep learning for prognosis prediction in spinal chordoma.
