  • Publication number: 20230154626
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein improve outcomes of subjects with lymphoma. Subjects with lymphoma may be able to avoid conventional treatments that have a high probability of leading to an adverse effect in the subject. Systems and methods allow for a more accurate prediction of subjects who cannot tolerate a particular treatment. Methods may include accessing an input data set that includes multiple input data values pertaining to a particular subject with lymphoma. The method may further include inputting the input data set into a machine-learning model to generate a score corresponding to the degree to which the particular subject will tolerate a particular treatment. The method may include outputting a prediction of the tolerance of the particular subject to the particular treatment using the generated score.
