Abstract
This study explores endometrial cancer (EC) within the broader context of oncogynecology, focusing on 3,845 EC patients at the Almazov National Research Center. The research analyzes clinical data, employing machine learning techniques like random forest regression and decision tree analysis. Key findings include age-dependent impacts on EC outcomes, unexpected correlations between dietary habits and recurrence risk (e.g., higher risk for vegans), and intriguing associations like soft drink consumption influencing relapse. Despite limitations like a retrospective design and self-reported data, the study's extended eight-year follow-up and robust database enhance its credibility. The nuanced insights into EC risk factors, influenced by factors like physical activity and diet, open avenues for targeted diagnostics and prevention strategies, showcasing the potential of machine learning in predicting outcomes.
