U.S., Feb. 5 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07386639) titled 'Sex-Specific Machine Learning Models to Predict Distant Metastasis in Liver Cancer' on Jan. 23.
Brief Summary: This study looked at whether male and female patients with liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC) have different risks of the cancer spreading to distant parts of the body (distant metastasis). Liver cancer is much more common in men than in women, and women often have better survival rates. However, it was unclear if the factors that predict this spread are the same for both sexes.
To answer this question, researchers analyzed information from a large, national cancer database (SEER) from 2004 to 2022, including 19,0...
