Application of evidence theory in radiation oncology outcome analysis

In this paper, we apply the Dempster-Shafer theory to outcome analysis in radiation oncology. Evidence from different sources, some of them inconsistent, is combined by Dempster's rule to provide an innovative method for radiotherapy outcome analysis.
