Distant metastasis time to event analysis with CNNs in independent head and neck cancer cohorts

Abstract Deep learning models based on medical images play an increasingly important role for cancer outcome prediction. The standard approach involves usage of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to automatically extract relevant features from the patient’s image and perform a binary classificatio...
