Abstract

Thyroid cancer recurrence prediction remains challenging due to complex nonlinear relationships in clinical and pathological data. This study proposes a hybrid modeling framework that integrates CatBoost with physics-based metaheuristic optimization algorithms to enhance predictive accuracy and robustness. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms conventional machine learning models, offering a reliable decision-support tool for identifying patients at high risk of thyroid cancer recurrence.
