Prediction of axillary lymph node metastasis in primary breast cancer patients using a decision tree-based model

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The aim of this study was to develop a new data-mining model to predict axillary lymph node (AxLN) metastasis in primary breast cancer. To achieve this, we used a decision tree-based prediction method—the alternating decision tree (A...
