Improve individual treatment by comparing treatment benefits: cancer artificial intelligence survival analysis system for cervical carcinoma

PURPOSE: The current study aimed to construct a novel cancer artificial intelligence survival analysis system for predicting the individual mortality risk curves for cervical carcinoma patients receiving different treatments. METHODS: Study dataset (n = 14,946) was downloaded from Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results database. Accelerated failure time algorithm, multi-task logistic regression algorithm, and Cox proportional hazard regression algorithm were used to develop prognostic models for cancer specific survival of cervical carcinoma patients. RESULTS: Multivariate Cox regression identified stage, PM, chemotherapy, Age, PT, and radiation_surgery as independent influence factors for cervical carcinoma patients. The concordance indexes of Cox model were 0.860, 0.849, and 0.848 for 12-month, 36-month, and 60-month in model dataset, whereas it were 0.881, 0.845, and 0.841 in validation dataset. The concordance indexes of accelerated failure time model were 0.861, 0.852, and 0.851 for 12-month, 36-month, and 60-month in model dataset, whereas it were 0.882, 0.847, and 0.846 in validation dataset. The concordance indexes of multi-task logistic regression model were 0.860, 0.863, and 0.861 for 12-month, 36-month, and 60-month in model dataset, whereas it were 0.880, 0.860, and 0.861 in validation dataset. Brier score indicated that these three prognostic models have good diagnostic accuracy for cervical carcinoma patients. The current research lacked independent external validation study. CONCLUSION: The current study developed a novel cancer artificial intelligence survival analysis system to provide individual mortality risk predictive curves for cervical carcinoma patients based on three different artificial intelligence algorithms. Cancer artificial intelligence survival analysis system could provide mortality percentage at specific time points and explore the actual treatment benefits under different treatments in four stages, which could help patient determine the best individualized treatment.
