Evaluation of classification and regression tree (CART) model in weight loss prediction following head and neck cancer radiation therapy

Objective: We explore whether a knowledge–discovery approach building a Classification and Regression Tree (CART) prediction model for weight loss (WL) in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients treated with radiation therapy (RT) is feasible. Methods and materials: HNC patients from 2007 to 2015 were i...
