Prediction of liver metastases after gastric cancer resection with the use of learning vector quantization neural networks.

Conclusion The presented model exhibited a high negative predictive value and reasonable high sensitivity for liver metastases. To improve sensitivity, the inclusion of more patients and perhaps biological markers is still necessary.
