Key Words Gastric cancer; Machine learning; Survival prediction; Missing data imputation; Extra trees
Core Tip This study developed a novel hybrid imputation method (HDI-MF-Gower) to handle missing clinical data. We then built and validated a robust machine learning model (extra trees classifier) for predicting postoperative 3-year survival in gastric cancer patients. The model demonstrated high performance (area under the curve of 0.853), and its clinical application is facilitated by interpretable SHapley Additive exPlanations analysis and a user-friendly online prediction tool, aiding personalized treatment planning.
