ABSTRACT
Colorectal cancer is one of the most incident types of cancer in the world, with almost 2 million new cases annually. In Brazil, the scenery is the same, around 41 thousand new cases were estimated in the last 3 years. This increase in cases further intensifies the interest and importance of studies related to the topic, especially using new approaches. The use of machine learning algorithms for cancer studies has grown in recent years, and they can provide important information to medicine, in addition to making predictions based on the data. In this study, five different classifications were performed, considering patients' survival. Data were extracted from Hospital Based Cancer Registries of São Paulo, which is coordinated by Fundação Oncocentro de São Paulo, containing patients with colorectal cancer from São Paulo state, Brazil, treated between 2000 and 2021. The machine learning models used provided us the predictions and the most important features for each one of the algorithms of the studies. Using part of the dataset to validate our models, the results of the predictors were around 77% of accuracy, with AUC close to 0.86, and the most important column was the clinical staging in all of them.
