Establishment and validation of a diagnostic model for cholangiocarcinoma based on LightGBM machine-learning algorithm.

ABSTRACT: The escalating annual death toll attributed to Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is, in part, a consequence of delayed diagnosis. This study developed an optimal CCA diagnostic model through the application of 11 machine-learning algorithms. Initially, 105 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified by analyzing gene expression profiles from 307 CCA tumor tissues and 124 adjacent non-tumor tissues. WGCNA, F-test, characteristic importance, and Lasso regression analysis were employed to identify key DEGs, including APOF, DIO1, APOM, and OTC. Subsequently, diagnostic models were constructed based on APOF, DIO1, and OTC using 11 machine-learning algorithms. The LightGBM algorithm was determined as the optimal model through ROC curve analysis and machine learning performance evaluation, achie
