TL;DR: Decision trees and similar models can reliably predict breast cancer metastasis using incomplete, imbalanced real-world data, provided they are properly validated, and are good for places with fewer resources.
Introduction: Breast cancer metastasis is a major cause of cancer-related death. Accurate prediction helps doctors make better decisions. This study developed and evaluated tree-based machine learning models to predict metastasis in Iranian women, using real clinical data with su…
