The paper introduces NeuroFusion, an assistive brain‑MRI report generator that surfaces latent tumor signals from a frozen Mistral‑7B backbone. By adding discriminative field‑classifier heads over per‑lesion features, NeuroFusion restores accurate diagnoses (meningioma 0.92, metastasis 0.75) and improves prose quality while reducing latency 5–6×. A controlled negative result shows that overriding the decoder with a learned diagnosis pin harms performance, and grammar‑constrained decoding yields high schema‑validity (92.3%).

OpenMTB‑Audit is an open‑source benchmark that tests large language models on 500 synthetic non‑small cell lung cancer cases, covering five adversarial error categories and four safety labels: Supported, Partially Supported, Unsupported, and Insufficient Information. The study found that all eight tested LLMs over‑refused Partially Supported recommendations, collapsing labels to achieve high safety scores. A deterministic seven‑module framework, MTB‑AuditAgent, was introduced to reduce over‑refusal to 6.7% and reach 91.2% accuracy, while an oncologist annotation study highlighted disagreement around the boundary between information sufficiency and treatment optimization.

CFB-GBM v2.0 is an expanded longitudinal dataset of 264 glioblastoma patients, providing complete Gross Tumour Volume (GTV) delineations across all timepoints and derived volumetric RANO 2.0 response labels. The dataset includes brain masks, pre‑computed radiomic features, and WHO classification guidelines, all validated by radiation oncologists. It is publicly available on TCIA for use in computational methods for treatment response prediction and disease progression modeling.

The paper presents an optimal‑transport based generative model that learns the distributional differences between healthy and diseased patients, producing per‑patient counterfactuals and label‑free attribution heatmaps. On tabular breast cancer data the model achieves high malignancy scoring (AUROC ≈ 0.91) and its attributions correlate moderately with a supervised classifier, yet it does not surpass logistic regression. In chest X‑ray experiments the transport heatmaps capture population‑level signals but fail to localize real lesions, revealing a synthetic‑to‑real gap that challenges the reliability of label‑free explanations.
