This work addresses a scoping review of Feature Selection (FS) methods applied to a Lung Cancer dataset to elucidate parameters' relevance when predicting radiotherapy (RT) induced toxicity. Subsetting-based and Ranking-based FS methods were implemented along with 4 advanced classifiers to predict the onset of RT-induced acute esophagitis, cough, pneumonitis and dyspnea. Their prediction performance was measured in terms of the AUC for each model to find the best FS.
