Independent Validation of a Comprehensive Machine Learning Approach Predicting Survival After Radiotherapy for Bone Metastases

Background/Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze the survival predictions obtained from a web platform allowing for computation of the so-called Bone Metastases Ensemble Trees for Survival (BMETS). This prediction model is based on a machine learning approach and considers 27 prognostic covariates. Patients and Methods: This was a retrospective single-institution analysis of 326 patients, managed with palliative radiotherapy for bone...
