• Abstract: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy affecting women worldwide and is notable for its morphologic and biologic diversity, with varying risks of recurrence following treatment. The Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score test is an important predictive and prognostic genomic assay for estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer that guides therapeutic strategies; however, such tests can be expensive, delay care, and are not widely available. The aim of this study was to develop a multi-model approach integrating the analysis of whole slide images and clinicopathologic data to predict their associated breast cancer recurrence risks and categorize these patients into two risk groups according to the predicted score: low and high risk. The proposed novel methodology uses convolutional neural networks for feature extraction and vision transformers for contextual aggregation, complemented by a logistic regression model that analyzes clinicopathologic data for classification into two risk categories. This method was trained and tested on 993 hematoxylin and eosin-stained whole-slide images of breast cancers with corresponding clinicopathological features that had prior Oncotype DX testing. The model's performance was evaluated using an internal test set of 198 patients from Dartmouth Health and an external test set of 418 patients from the University of Chicago. The multi-model approach achieved an AUC of 0.92 (95 percent CI: 0.88-0.96) on the internal set and an AUC of 0.85 (95 percent CI: 0.79-0.90) on the external cohort. These results suggest that with further validation, the proposed methodology could provide an alternative to assist clinicians in personalizing treatment for breast cancer patients and potentially improving their outcomes.

  Early identification of patients at risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is crucial for effective preventive care, reducing healthcare burden, and improving patients' quality of life. This study demonstrates the potential of retinal optical coherence tomography ( OCT) imaging combined with fundus photographs for identifying future adverse cardiac events. We propose a novel binary classification network based on a Multi-channel Variational Autoencoder (MCVAE), which learns a latent embedding of patients' fundus and OCT images to classify individuals into two groups: those likely to develop CVD in the future and those who are not.

  We investigated whether deep learning algorithms can predict patients' risk of recurrence by analyzing the pathology images of their cancer histology. We obtained sensitivity of 0.857, 0.746, and 0.529 for predicting low, intermediate, and high risk, and specificity of 0.816, 0.803, and 0.972. When we checked the model learned through these studies through the class activation map, we found that it actually considered tubule formation and mitotic rate when predicting different risk groups.

  Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer mortality globally, highlighting the importance of understanding its mortality risks to design effective therapies. The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) employed computed tomography texture analysis to quantify the mortality risks of lung cancer patients. We propose a novel Penalized Deep Partially Linear Cox Model (Penalized DPLC), which incorporates the SCAD penalty to select important texture features and employs a deep neural network to estimate the nonparametric component of the model.
