    SHAP analysis identified TNM stage, liver metastasis burden, and TCM intervention intensity as key prognostic factors.

  • 4

    Traditional Chinese Medicine showed a protective association with survival probability in a dose-dependent manner.

  • 5

    The model was successfully translated into a web-based tool for personalized prognostic assessment and treatment planning.
