CMGL: Confidence-guided Multi-omics Graph Learning for Cancer Subtype Classification

CMGL is a confidence‑guided multi‑omics graph learning framework that first estimates modality confidence for each patient using evidential deep learning, then fuses omics data with fixed confidence values and performs classification on a consistency graph. On four cancer‑subtype tasks and a 32‑class pan‑cancer task, CMGL outperforms the strongest baseline by an average of 4.03% accuracy. Its learned representations recover known breast cancer subtypes and transfer to kidney cancer, enabling prognostically distinct patient stratification.

From WSIs to Bulk, Spatial and Single-Cell Transcriptomics via Multi-Scale Graph Neural Networks

The paper presents a Multi‑Scale Graph Neural Network that predicts bulk, spatial, and single‑cell gene expression directly from whole‑slide histopathology images. It uses a Pathology Foundation Model to extract morphological features and builds spatial graphs at patch and cell levels, training on TCGA, Visium, and Xenium data from lung, kidney, and breast tissues. The model achieves accurate slide‑level predictions, moderate patch‑level accuracy (especially on Xenium), and moderate single‑cell correlation, and its outputs are shown to be useful for survival analysis, spatial hazard mapping, and tumor classification.

Predicting Therapeutic Outcome via Aligning Patient-Specific Knowledge Graph and Gene-Level Perturbation Representations

arXiv:2607. 04557v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate prediction of patient-specific therapeutic response from pre-treatment transcriptomes is hindered by the scarcity of matched clinical response labels and post-treatment molecular profiles.

SMILESGNN: Interpretable Clinical Toxicity Prediction via SMILES-Graph Cross-Attention Fusion

SMILESGNN is a multimodal architecture that fuses a SMILES Transformer encoder with a GATv2 graph encoder through cross‑attention, enabling interpretable clinical toxicity predictions. The model retains an explicit graph branch, allowing GNNExplainer to identify substructures linked to toxicity. On the ClinTox dataset it achieves an AUC‑ROC of 0.987 and F1 of 0.906 with only 0.4 M parameters, while on Tox21 it attains a mean AUC‑ROC of 0.750, comparable to strong single‑modality baselines.

GraphBEAT: Graph-based Bucketized Event Aggregation Over Time for Early Risk Stratification of Gastrointestinal Cancers

GraphBEAT is a temporal graph representation learning framework that bucketizes clinical events from longitudinal electronic health records into time‑ordered graphs, enabling early risk stratification for gastrointestinal cancers. It uses a time‑decay message‑passing mechanism and multi‑head attention pooling to generate patient‑level representations, and was trained on multi‑site diagnosis codes and laboratory tests to predict pancreatic, liver, and intestinal cancer at 12, 24, and 36‑month lead times. Across all experiments, GraphBEAT outperformed baseline graph neural networks and sequence models while requiring far fewer floating‑point operations and parameters.
