Summary Abstract
PURPOSE:
A major adverse effect arising from nimustine hydrochloride (ACNU) therapy for brain tumors is myelosuppression. Because its timing and severity vary among individual patients, the ACNU dose level has been adjusted in an empiric manner at individual medical facilities. To our knowledge, ours is the first study to develop a machine-learning approach to estimate myelosuppression through analysis of patient factors before treatment and attempts to clarify the relationship between myelosuppression and hematopoietic stem cells from daily clinical data. Adverse effect prediction will allow ACNU dose adjustment for patients predicted to have decreases in blood cell counts and will enable focused follow-up of patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy.
