Learning a Generative Model of Cancer Metastasis
We introduce a Unified Disentanglement Network (UFDN) trained on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We demonstrate that the UFDN learns a biologically relevant latent space of gene expression data by applying our network to two classification tasks of cancer status and cancer type. Our UFDN specific algorithms perform comparably to random forest methods. The UFDN allows for continuous, partial interpolation between distinct cancer types. Furthermore, we perform an analysis of differentially expressed genes between skin cutaneous melanoma(SKCM) samples and the same samples interpolated into glioblastoma (GBM). We demonstrate that our interpolations learn relevant metagenes that recapitulate known glioblastoma mechanisms and suggest possible starting points for investigations into the metastasis of SKCM into GBM.

Quantification of the underlying mechanisms and relationship among cancer, metastasis and differentiation/development
Recurrence and metastasis have been regarded as two of the greatest obstacles for curing cancer. Cancer stem cell (CSC) have been found. They contribute to cancer development with the distinct feature of recurrence and r…
Hierarchical Classification for Predicting Metastasis Using Elastic-Net Regularization on Gene Expression Data
Metastasis is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality and remains challenging to detect during early stages. Accurate identification of cancers likely to metastasize can improve treatment strategies and patient outco…
Predicting Lung Cancer's Metastats' Locations Using Bioclinical Model
Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The spread of the disease from its primary site to other parts of the lungs, known as metastasis, significantly impacts the course of treatment. Early id…
Computed Tomography (CT)modelNovel digital tissue phenotypic signatures of distant metastasis in colorectal cancer
Distant metastasis is the major cause of death in colorectal cancer (CRC). Patients at high risk of developing distant metastasis could benefit from appropriate adjuvant and follow-up treatments if stratified accurately …
L1-regularized neural ranking for risk stratification and its application to prediction of time to distant metastasis in luminal node negative chemotherapy naïve breast cancer patients
Can we predict if an early stage cancer patient is at high risk of developing distant metastasis and what clinicopathological factors are associated with such a risk? In this paper, we propose a ranking based censoring-a…
