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.

arXiv:2511. 15968v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: External validation of breast ultrasound segmentation models remains limited because internal train--test splits do not capture domain shifts across imaging systems, acquisition protocols, and patient populations.

arXiv:2608. 03079v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Breast core needle biopsy (CNB) is central to breast cancer diagnosis yet remains challenging because limited tissue sampling, lesion heterogeneity, and subtle morphologic overlap can obscure subtype distinctions.

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.

Background/Objectives: Dermoscopic skin lesion classifiers often lose accuracy under domain shift across imaging devices, illumination, and capture artifacts. We study how data augmentation improves the robustness of a binary malignant-versus-non-malignant classifier, with emphasis on out-of-domain (OOD) generalization.
