Bayesian networks for clinical decision support in lung cancer care.

Survival prediction and treatment selection in lung cancer care are characterised by high levels of uncertainty. Bayesian Networks (BNs), which naturally reason with uncertain domain knowledge, can be applied to aid lung cancer experts by providing personalised survival estimates and treatment selec...

description Survival prediction and treatment selection in lung cancer care are characterised by high levels of uncertainty.
