Accurate prognosis prediction is important for treatment planning in lung cancer, but deep learning-driven survival modelling is often limited by the scarcity of curated imaging cohorts with reliable outcome data. This study evaluates whether representations from a domain-specific foundation model can be used for multimodal survival prediction in data-constrained clinical settings.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive primary brain tumor in adults, with a median overall survival of 15 months. Longitudinal, multi-modal imaging datasets with comprehensive clinical and treatment data are essential to support the development of reproducible computational methods for treatment response prediction, disease progression modelling, and personalized medicine.

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.
