Advanced machine learning techniques, particularly the xgboost algorithm, have shown exceptional predictive accuracy for identifying the risk of postoperative gastroparesis in colon cancer patients after complete mesocolic excision. From a cohort of 1,097 patients, featuring 87 gastroparesis cases, xgboost achieved an area under the curve of 0.939 for training and 0.876 for validation. This predictive model aids clinicians in recognizing key risk factors, potentially improving patient recovery and wellbeing.
