Predictive Mathematical Models Top Doctors On Lung Cancer Treatment Predictions

Mathematical Models Out-Perform Doctors In Predicting Cancer Patients Responses To Treatment.  Science Daily.  April 19, 2013.

Key quote from one of the researchers:  "If models based on patient, tumor and treatment characteristics already out-perform the doctors, then it is unethical to make treatment decisions based solely on the doctors' opinions.  We believe models should be implemented in clinical practice to guide decisions."
