Table 2 Classification models designed along with their respective encoded output vectors
Model number | Model name | Output label |
|---|---|---|
1 | Choice of Initial Treatment (the first treatment that was given to the patient, typically surgery or radiotherapy) | Label 1: Surgery Label 0: Radiation Therapy |
2 | Residual (disease fails to clear after even three months of completion of radiotherapy; this parameter does not apply to patients who underwent initial surgery) | Label 1: Residual present Label 0: Residual Absent |
3 | Locoregional recurrence (disease recurs in the irradiated site itself sometime after completion of treatment) | Label 1: Locoregional Recurrence Label 0: No Locoregional Recurrence |
4 | Distant recurrence (the recurrence of the disease at a site away from its origin, typically by spreading through the blood) | Label 1: Distant Recurrence present Label 0- No Distant Recurrence |
5 | New Primary (new cancer, unrelated to the treated cancer, developing in the head and neck region) | Label 1: New Primary present Label 0: New Primary absent |
