Overall mortality risk analysis for rectal cancer using deep learning-based fuzzy systems.

Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide, with an increasing incidence rate in developing countries. Integration of genetic information with cancer therapy guidance has shown promise in cancer treatment, indicating its potential as an essential tool in translation oncology. However, the high-throughput analysis and variability of genomic data poses a major challenge to co...
