Gaussian Meta-Space Augmentation for Stacking Ensembles in Multimodal IPMN Risk Stratification

arXiv:2608. 11472v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Pancreatic cancer is among the most lethal malignancies; risk stratification of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) offers a crucial opportunity for early intervention but typically requires invasive tissue biopsy.

Foundation Models vs. Radiomics for Lung Computed Tomography: A Benchmark of Feature Extractors, Classification Heads, and Segmentation Choices

arXiv:2607. 01001v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Radiomics is the established approach for CT-based lung cancer phenotyping, yet comparisons with foundation models rarely isolate contributions of feature extractor, classification head, and segmentation choice, or test cross-cohort robustness.

Comparing the Performance of Foundation Model Derived Embeddings with Traditional Approaches for Distant Metastasis Prediction in Head and Neck Cancer

Background: Early prediction of distant metastasis (DM) risk in head and neck cancer (HNC) can enable timely interventions that may improve treatment outcomes. Many current machine learning methods rely on prior knowledge of the region of interest such as tumor segmentations, which require expert knowledge, is time-consuming and introduces user-dependent variability.

Semantic-Guided Multimodal Preprocessing for Vision Transformer-Based Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Grading

The paper introduces a semantic‑guided multimodal preprocessing technique that fuses nuclei classification maps with RGB histopathology images for Vision Transformer‑based grading of clear cell renal cell carcinoma. By concatenating classification map channels and applying multiplicative modulation, the method achieves a balanced accuracy of 0.916, markedly surpassing an RGB‑only baseline (0.707) and prior max‑voting approaches (0.427). Sensitivity analysis shows the 21‑percentage‑point improvement remains robust under simulated perturbations matching current nuclei classifier error rates, indicating effective use of imperfect nuclear‑level information.
