Objective:

To develop and validate a deep learning model for predicting 5-year mortality in patients with non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using data from the Korean Central Cancer Registry (KCCR), highlighting the importance of accurate long-term prognosis in treatment planning.

Key Findings:
  • The model effectively predicts 5-year survival rates in NSCLC patients using a large, multicenter dataset.
  • Incorporation of clinical features and molecular biomarkers enhances the model's predictive performance.
Interpretation:

The study demonstrates the feasibility of using deep learning with a national cancer registry dataset to predict long-term outcomes in NSCLC.

Limitations:
  • Potential selection bias due to the complete-case approach in data preprocessing.
  • The model's reliance on the quality and completeness of the data collected in the KCCR.
Conclusion:

The developed model provides a clinically applicable tool for predicting 5-year survival in NSCLC, leveraging a large and diverse dataset.
