Abstract

BACKGROUND: T-cell immune infiltrates are robust prognostic variables in localised colon cancer. Evaluation of prognosis using artificial intelligence is an emerging field. We evaluated whether machine learning analysis improved prediction of patient outcome in comparison with analysis of T cell infiltrate only or in association with clinical variables.
