Epithelial–mesenchymal transition biomarkers and support vector machine guided model in preoperatively predicting regional lymph node metastasis for rectal cancer
British Journal of Cancer, 05/08/2012
Fan XJ et al. – The support vector machine (SVM)–based model displayed moderately strong predictive power in defining the regional lymph node metastasis (RLNM) status in rectal cancer (RC) patients, providing an important approach to select RLNM high–risk subgroup for neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.
