    Predictive models are essential for identifying high-risk individuals for GI cancers, but require pre-diagnosis patient data from prospective cohort studies.

  • 3

    Machine learning offers advantages in modeling complex data for GI cancer risk prediction, improving sensitivity for cancer cases despite class imbalance.

  • 4

    The study evaluated multiple imbalance mitigation strategies, including a patient-centered undersampling technique, to enhance GI cancer risk prediction.

  • 5

    Data from 12,552 South Korean adults were analyzed, resulting in a final dataset of 7652 participants, including 156 incident GI cancer cases.
