Popis: It is generally known that artificial neural networks (ANNs) may be used for non-linear analysis of complex data. The purpose of this study was to construct the model of prediction using ANNs from radiation oncology database, and to evaluate the usefulness of ANNs for survival prediction in patients with lung cancer treated by radiation therapy.
