AI-POWERED MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS
Transforming Endometrial Cancer Risk Stratification with Machine Learning and Serological Markers
This research introduces a machine learning-based approach, primarily utilizing the Random Forest classifier, for the preoperative diagnosis and prognosis of endometrial cancer (EC). By integrating 36 serological markers and clinical variables from 562 patients, the model significantly enhances risk stratification, prediction of diagnosis, staging, metastasis risk, and prognosis, moving beyond traditional postoperative evaluation methods.

Enhanced Predictive Power of Random Forest
The study demonstrated that advanced computational models integrating diverse biological markers and clinical factors offer superior predictive accuracy compared to traditional single-variable regression. Among the evaluated machine learning models, the Random Forest classifier consistently achieved high Area Under the Curve (AUC) values (0.81-0.94), showcasing its robust predictive performance for various endometrial cancer outcomes.
0.94
Peak Predictive Accuracy (Random Forest AUC)
The Random Forest classifier demonstrated superior predictive accuracy, achieving AUC values as high as 0.94 for various outcomes in endometrial cancer, outperforming traditional single-variable regression methods and other ML models. This highlights the power of integrated serological and clinical data.
Precise Differentiation of EC from EAH
Distinguishing endometrial carcinoma (EC) from endometrial atypical hyperplasia (EAH) is crucial for optimal treatment. Traditional methods often face challenges due to molecular similarities and subjective interpretation. Our AI-assisted approach provides an objective and data-driven method for this critical differentiation.

Accurate Clinical Stage and Grade Prediction
The RF model achieved a predictive accuracy of 0.80 with an AUC of 0.78 for differentiating stage I from more advanced stages. Human Epididymis Protein 4 (HE4) and Carbohydrate Antigen 125 (CA125) were identified as critical predictors for clinical stage, with values increasing with disease advancement.
HE4 & CA125
Key Predictors for Stage (HE4) & Lymph Node Invasion (CA125)
Human Epididymis Protein 4 (HE4) was identified as pivotal for risk stratification including stages and Mayo criteria, while Carbohydrate Antigen 125 (CA125) excelled in detecting lymph node invasion. Their values increased with advancing clinical stages, making them crucial non-invasive preoperative markers.
Predicting Lymph Node Metastasis and Mayo Criteria
The Random Forest classifier demonstrated high predictive accuracy for lymphoid node metastasis (0.90 accuracy, AUC 0.77) and Mayo criteria (0.60 accuracy, AUC 0.71). CA125 was the most important predictor for distinguishing invasive lymphoid nodes, while HE4 was crucial for Mayo grades, offering valuable preoperative insights for surgical planning.

Personalized Treatment Planning & Adjuvant Therapy Guidance
Refining Prognostic Risk Group Stratification
The AI model significantly enhances prognostic risk stratification for adjuvant therapies, achieving AUC values of 0.75 for distinguishing low-risk patients and 0.70 for low/intermediate risk groups. This enables more precise, personalized treatment planning based on preoperative data, with HE4 being identified as the most important variable.
Enhancing Prognostic Stratification
Context: A 58-year-old patient presented with early-stage EC. Traditional methods provided general risk assessment, delaying precise adjuvant therapy decisions until post-surgery.
Challenge: Identifying the true prognostic risk group preoperatively to tailor immediate treatment, avoid overtreatment, or ensure adequate adjuvant therapy.
AI Solution: Our Random Forest model, leveraging HE4 and other serological markers, accurately predicted the patient's prognostic risk group (e.g., intermediate-risk) preoperatively.
Impact: Enabled timely and personalized adjuvant therapy planning, potentially reducing morbidity and improving long-term outcomes, demonstrating the model's ability to refine ESGO/ESTRO/ESP guideline application.
Acknowledging Limitations and Charting Future Directions
While this study presents a robust model, it acknowledges limitations inherent in its single-center data collection and sample distribution. Future research aims to address these by expanding the dataset and integrating multi-modal approaches to further enhance predictive efficacy and generalizability.
