Machine learning-integrated explainable artificial intelligence for survival prediction in urothelial carcinoma with enfortumab vedotin: an exploratory real-world analysis
Background Enfortumab vedotin (EV) has transformed treatment for advanced urothelial carcinoma (aUC), but outcomes vary. Machine learning (ML) with explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) may improve survival prediction. Methods Data from 544 aUC patients receiving EV after platinum chemotherapy and immunotherapy (51 centers, 24 countries) were analyzed. Four machine learning (ML) algorithms (Random Survival Forest, XGBoost, Elastic Net-regularized Cox, Support Vector Machine) were trained (80%) and tested (20…
