Core Tip Risk prediction in surgical oncology is evolving beyond traditional scoring systems. Frequentist methods, widely used in machine learning, offer transparency and reproducibility but rely solely on observed data. Bayesian reasoning, by contrast, integrates prior clinical knowledge with new information, mirroring real-world decision-making. The integration of both frameworks promises more reliable, interpretable, and personalized prediction tools, advancing the future of surgical care.
