Abstract: percentile) or estimating a transcriptomic risk score (TRS) using a machine learning algorithm with 9 of the 42 genes. On multivariate analysis, the significant predictors of mortality included high TRS (HR = 44.8), stage IV (HR = 28.1), intermediate TRS (HR = 4.75), and positive lymph node status (HR = 2.92). Approximately 18% of earlier-stage patients were identified as a poor-prognosis subgroup with high TRS. In patients with SCCC, transcriptomic risk appears to better predict survival than clinical prognostic factors, including stage.
