Deep Learning for interpretable end-to-end survival prediction in gastrointestinal cancer histopathology
Digitized histopathology slides contain a wealth of information, only a fraction of which is being used in clinical routine. Deep learning can extract subtle visual features from digitized slides and thus can infer clinically relevant endpoints from raw image data. While classification and regression methods are well established in this domain, end-to-end prediction of patient survival still remains a comparably novel approach. To account for different follow-up times and censored data, previous approaches have largely used discretized survival data. Here, we demonstrate and validate EE-Surv, a powerful yet algorithmically simple method to predict survival directly from whole slide images which we validate in colorectal and gastric cancer, two clinically relevant and markedly different tumor types. We experimentally show that our method yields a highly significant prediction of survival and enables explainability of predictions. Our method is publicly available under an open-source license and can be applied to any type of disease.

Bridging the gap between Performance and Interpretability: An Explainable Disentangled Multimodal Framework for Cancer Survival Prediction
While multimodal survival prediction models are increasingly more accurate, their complexity often reduces interpretability, limiting insight into how different data sources influence predictions. To address this, we int…
Together, Then Apart: Balancing Alignment and Distinctiveness for Multimodal Survival Analysis
Multimodal survival analysis aims to improve cancer prognosis using heterogeneous biomedical data, such as histopathology images and genomic profiles. A common strategy is to align representations across modalities so th…
Generating crossmodal gene expression from cancer histopathology improves multimodal AI predictions
Emerging research has highlighted that artificial intelligence based multimodal fusion of digital pathology and transcriptomic features can improve cancer diagnosis (grading/subtyping) and prognosis (survival risk) predi…
PrognosisPathoGen-X: A Cross-Modal Genomic Feature Trans-Align Network for Enhanced Survival Prediction from Histopathology Images
Accurate survival prediction is essential for personalized cancer treatment. However, genomic data - often a more powerful predictor than pathology data - is costly and inaccessible. We present the cross-modal genomic fe…
