Machine-Learning-Assisted Analysis of Patient Clinical Biomarkers to Improve Ovarian Cancer Diagnosis.

ABSTRACT: The unavailability of accurate and reliable methods for early ovarian cancer detection represents a major gap in ovarian cancer diagnosis and management. The emergence and recent integration of machine learning with cancer diagnostic techniques, particularly biomarker-based blood tests, have the potential to improve the selectivity and sensitivity of ovarian cancer detection substantially. Herein, we leverage a series of machine learning and statistical approaches to analyze clinically relevant data sets of more than 300 patients with ovarian tumors and 47 blood-obtained features to distinguish between cancerous and benign tumors. We found that HE4, CA125, menopausal status, and age were some of the most important features distinguishing cancerous from benign ovarian tumors in all patient
