An interactive Bayesian model for prediction of lymph node ratio and survival in pancreatic cancer patients.

CONCLUSIONS: We provide a new approach and tool set for the prediction of LNR and survival that are generally applicable to a host of cancer types, including breast, colon, melanoma, and stomach. Our methods are illustrated with the development of a validated model and web applications for the prediction of survival in a large set of pancreatic cancer patients.
