Abstract (English): Background: There is a lack of prognosticators of overall survival (OS) for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC). Objectives: We examined collaborative machine learning (cML) in estimating the OS of OSCC patients. The prognostic significance of the clinicopathological parameters was examined. Methodology: Altogether, 9439 OSCC patients were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (US). Five ML models – voting ensemble, stacked ensemble, extreme gradient boosting, light boosting, and logistic regression were used to predict OS. Three of these ML algorithms were combined to form a cluster of cML models. The performance of the cML was compared with the best performing individual ML algorithm following model training. Results: The performance accuracy of the voting ensemble, stacked ensemble, extreme gradient boosting, light boosting, and logistic regression models was 70.2%, 69.9%, 69.1%, 69.4%, and 69.5% respectively, following model training. When the voting ensemble model was compared with cML using temporal validation, the cML showed a comparable performance accuracy. The most significant prognostic factors were age of the patient at diagnosis, T stage, tumor grade, marital status, gender, primary site, surgery, N stage, radiotherapy, ethnicity, chemotherapy, and M stage. Conclusions: cML appears to give reliability to the final prediction and thereby may mark a paradigm shift from model individualism to a more cooperative paradigm. This approach may aid in determining an enhanced individualized treatment for OSCC patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Chinese): 缺乏口腔鳞状细胞癌 (OSCC)总生存期 (OS) 的预测指标。 我们研究了协作机器学习 (cML) 在估计 OSCC 患者 OS 的作用。研究了临床病理参数的预后意义。 总共从监测、流行病学和最终结果数据库 (美国) 中提取了 9439 名 OSCC 患者。使用五种 ML 模型(投票集成、堆叠集成、极端梯度提升、轻度提升和逻辑回归)来预测 OS。将这些ML 算法中的三种组合在一起, 形成一个 cML 模型集群。将 cML 的性能与单个 ML 算法进行了比较。 投票集成、堆叠集成、极端梯度提升、轻度提升、逻辑回归和 cML 模型的性能准确度分别为 70.2%、69.2%、69.6%、69.7%、69.5% 和 72.8%。因此, cML 的性能准确度略有提高。预后因素按重要性降序排列为患者年龄、T 分期、肿瘤分级、婚姻状况、性别、原发部位、手术、N 分期、放疗、种族、化疗和 M 分期。 cML 为最终预测提供了可靠性, 从而标志着从模型个体性到更具综合性的范式转变。这种方法可能有助于确定针对 OSCC 患者的强化了的个体性治疗。 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
