TL;DR
Data mining methods are not accurate enough to replace the TNM staging system for colorectal cancer survival prediction, and there were no significant differences in the predictive accuracy of all the algorithms when the data were from different sources.
Abstract
The TNM staging system is simple and practical at present, and data mining methods are not accurate enough to replace the TNM staging system for colorectal cancer survival prediction. Furthermore, there were no significant differences in the predictive accuracy of all the algorithms when the data were from different sources. Building a larger dataset that includes more variables may be important for furthering predictive accuracy.
