Dysphagia Risk Stratification in Head and Neck Cancer via Two-Stage PRO-Clinical Stacking

arXiv:2607. 22514v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Dysphagia is a debilitating late effect of head and neck cancer (HNC) treatment, yet timely identification of at-risk patients remains challenging in survivorship care.

Explainable Multimodal Deep Learning Integrating Imaging and Clinical Data for Oral Potentially Malignant Disorder Detection

The paper presents M2-OPMDNet, a multimodal deep learning framework that combines white‑light and autofluorescence intraoral images with structured clinical data to detect oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs). Using a prospectively collected real‑world dataset, the model achieved an AUC of 0.952, outperforming unimodal approaches and improving detection of visually subtle lesions. Explainability was provided through SHAP analysis, showing that clinical variables significantly contributed to risk estimation alongside imaging features.

RadFusion: Towards Threshold-Controllable Radiology Report Generation

Automated radiology report generation is advancing rapidly in response to the shortage of radiologists, yet unlike a perception model, existing generation models offer no control over the sensitivity-specificity trade-off of their diagnostic content. Such control is essential because clinical scenarios diverge: emergency triage prioritizes sensitivity to reduce missed findings, whereas confirmatory interpretation emphasizes specificity to limit unnecessary interventions.

An auditable conditional-strategy framework for open-ended decision-making in complex lung cancer

The article introduces MedGPT Clinical Explorer (MCE), a conditional‑strategy framework designed to aid complex lung cancer decision‑making by explicitly mapping patient conditions to pathway eligibility, deferral, and redirection. In a study with 250 physicians across 98 institutions, MCE‑assisted strategies achieved higher Admissible Pathway Attainment Scores (APAS) than unaided or retrieval‑reference approaches, indicating more comprehensive inclusion of clinically relevant content and coherent links among pathways, conditions, and actions. The authors suggest that MCE’s shared decision object could improve transparency of omissions and contingencies, warranting prospective evaluation of its impact on workflow and patient outcomes.

Multimodality Stacking with Blockwise missing values and application to the PIONeeR biomarkers study for prediction of resistance to immunotherapy

arXiv:2605. 25050v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Integrating multimodal datasets in clinical oncology is frequently hindered by high dimensionality and blockwise missingness, where entire data sources are unavailable for specific patient subsets.
