Machine learning-based analysis identifies a 13-gene prognostic signature to improve the clinical outcomes of colorectal cancer

Abstract excerpt

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common intestinal malignancy worldwide, posing a serious threat to public health. Due to its high heterogeneity, prognosis and drug response of different CRC patients vary widely, limiting the effectiveness of traditional treatment. Therefore, this study aims to construct a novel CRC prognostic signature using machine learning algorithms to assist in making informed...
