Foundation-model-guided radiogenomic discovery linking cancer genomes to cancer scans

arXiv:2607. 20583v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The function of many genes is still unknown, and conventional driver-discovery methods, which rely on how frequently a gene is mutated, cannot assess genes that are only rarely affected.

Cross-Modal Contrastive Learning from Histopathology and CT for Automated Renal Cell Carcinoma Grading

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.

An Interpretable Deep Learning Framework for Discovery and Clinical Validation of Deep Radiomic Signatures in Tumor Classification

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: Multimodal Survival Prediction with Genomic-Guided Histology Attention

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.

Data-Efficient Multimodal Alignment for Histopathology-based Molecular Prediction

arXiv:2606. 29949v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: H&E-stained whole-slide images offer cohort-scale availability and rich spatial context but lack molecular specificity, whereas bulk RNA-seq provides transcriptome-wide resolution at high cost with limited archival availability.
