Survival Analysis of Superficial Bladder Cancer patients using DeepSurv and Cox models

The advancements in technology help in analyzing and predicting the disease of human life using automation. Out of various technologies, Machine Learning (ML) and Deep learning (DL) provide some promising results to help humankind. Automated technologies help improve the prediction process of the healthcare system, especially in carcinoma detection based on past information. Thus, the proposed model made a survival analysis of the patients who are affected by bladder cancer (BC) based on their past health records. The tumor in the urinary bladder indicates that cancer among patients, when not treated can be spread to the other parts of the human body and cause death. However, the health records provide some linear combinations of the data to analyze the survival rate on treatments such as Placebo and Thiotepa. Thus, the proposed work utilized DeepMLPSurv and CoxPH survival model to make an analysis on the tumour recurrence and predicts the survival rate among the bladder cancer patients.
