A novel machine learning-based immune prognostic signature for improving clinical outcomes and guiding therapy in colorectal cancer: an integrated bioinformatics and experimental s... by Yuanchun Zhao, Dexu Xun, Jiajia Chen, Xin Qi

“…Considering the high incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC), in this study, an integrated machine learning survival framework incorporating 93 different algorithmic combinations was utilized to determine the optimal strategy for developing an immune-related prognostic signature (IRPS) based on the average C-index across the four CRC cohorts. Notably, IRPS was demonstrated to be an independent risk factor for predicting the survival outcomes of CRC patients, showing superior performance compared to traditional clinical features and 63 published signatures in both training and validation cohorts. …”
