Predicted Survival After Radical Prostatectomy Varied by Race With a Trained Machine Classifier
Using a U.S. cancer database, Madhur Nayan, MDCM, PhD, and colleagues trained a machine-learning algorithm to predict survival after radical prostatectomy in race-specific subgroups. Nevertheless, the algorithm overestimated the survival of patients whose race was not listed as white or African American.
