Comparing the Performance of Foundation Model Derived Embeddings with Traditional Approaches for Distant Metastasis Prediction in Head and Neck Cancer

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.

Long-Tailed Medical Image Classification

arXiv:2607. 23883v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we examine the difficulties of using standard techniques for medical image classification due to long-tailed distributions (wherein rarer conditions have very few samples) resulting in bias towards diagnosing common diseases and away from rarer diseases.
