Patients and Methods: A total of 202 patients with ovarian tumors were enrolled, including 53 with ovarian cancer, 23 with borderline malignant tumors, and 126 with benign ovarian tumors. Using 5 machine learning classifiers, including support vector machine, random forest, naive Bayes, logistic regression, and XGBoost, we derived diagnostic results from 16 features, commonly available from blood tests, patient background, and imaging tests. We also analyzed the importance of 16 features on the prediction of disease. Results: The highest accuracy was 0.80 in the machine learning algorithm of XGBoost. The evaluation of importance of the features showed different results among the correlation coefficient of the features, the regression coefficient, and the features importance of random forest. Conclusion: AI could play a role in the prediction of pathological diagnosis of ovarian cancer from preoperative examinations. ER -
