A Retrospective Analysis using Deep-Learning Models for Prediction of Survival Outcome and Benefit of Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Stage II/III Colorectal Cancer [PDF]
Most early-stage colorectal cancer (CRC) patients can be cured by surgery alone, and only certain high-risk early-stage CRC patients benefit from adjuvant chemotherapies. However, very few validated biomarkers are available to accurately predict survival benefit from postoperative chemotherapy.

Improving trial generalizability using observational studies [PDF]
Complementary features of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies (OSs) can be used jointly to estimate the average treatment effect of a target population. We propose a calibration weighting estimator that enforces the covariate balance between the RCT and OS, therefore improving the trial-based estimator's generalizability ...
