Predicting Pathological Complete Response in Rectal Cancer Using Machine Learning

Development and Validation of a Machine Learning Model Based on Clinical and MRI Features for Predicting Pathological Complete Response in Rectal Cancer Following Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 3 Apr 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This study aims to develop and validate a robust machine learning-based prediction model utilizing baseline clinical data and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features. The objective is to preoperatively predict the probability of achieving a pathological complete response (pCR) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (CRC) following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT).
