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.

The paper introduces Conserved Immune Topology (CIT), a lightweight spatial representation that enhances cross‑cancer MSI‑H prediction by augmenting pathology foundation‑model embeddings with immune‑related descriptors. CIT identifies immune‑associated tiles via unsupervised clustering and encodes features such as tertiary lymphoid structures, peritumoral immune reactions, tumor‑infiltrating lymphocyte density, and immune‑tumor mixing, all without requiring annotations or target‑domain data. In cross‑site and cross‑cancer experiments on CPTAC‑COAD and TCGA‑STAD cohorts, CIT improved zero‑shot TransMIL AUC from 0.6627 to 0.7161, demonstrating that spatial immune topology can provide an organ‑invariant representation for MSI‑H prediction.

The study benchmarks active spot selection methods against random sampling for spatial transcriptomics, focusing on cost‑efficient data acquisition. Using two public cohorts, the authors simulate multi‑round selection with uncertainty‑based (MC‑dropout, TOD) and diversity‑based (CoreSet, TypiClust) strategies, evaluating performance at 5%, 10%, 30%, and 50% of the spot pool. Results show that none of the active strategies consistently outperforms random sampling across all budgets or evaluation metrics, with performance varying by dataset and metric.
