The prognostic analysis and a machine-learning based disease-specific survival state model in pulmonary large-cell neuroendocrine carcinomas

Pulmonary large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (PLCNEC) is a rare and highly malignant lung cancer. Due to the paucity of data from clinical studies, its clinical characteristics and treatment remain controversial. The present study explored factors influencing the prognosis and survival outcomes of patients with PLCNEC and developed a dependable prognostic model using machine learning.
