The study introduces RCC-Align, a cross‑modal contrastive learning framework that aligns paired histopathology whole‑slide images and CT scans to enhance noninvasive grading of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Using patient‑level five‑fold cross‑validation on TCGA and CPTAC cohorts, RCC‑Align achieved an AUC of 0.601 and AUPRC of 0.599 for low‑ versus high‑grade ccRCC classification, outperforming CT‑only baselines and showing stronger WSI‑CT embedding alignment. The approach relies solely on CT at inference, potentially aiding grading when biopsy is unsafe or limited by tumor heterogeneity.

Imaging signatures are quantitative features extracted from medical images that provide clinically meaningful information for tumor diagnosis, characterization, prognosis, and treatment planning. Although deep learning has shown great potential for imaging signature discovery, its limited interpretability remains a major barrier to clinical adoption.

MIST is a multimodal survival prediction framework that fuses whole-slide images and genomic profiles by representing genomic features as tokens that query histology context tokens derived from a foundation model. The architecture enriches molecular information with histology context before survival prediction, avoiding late-stage merging of separately encoded modalities. Training incorporates discrete-time survival prediction, genomic feature masking, WSI dropout, and contrastive alignment, and demonstrates improved external C-index across colon, renal, lung, and glioblastoma cohorts compared to standard fusion baselines.
