The paper presents a newly curated, multi-center, multi-modal, and longitudinal lung cancer dataset comprising 1,365 patients with whole-slide images, CT scans, PET scans, structured clinical data, transcriptomics, and follow-up information. The dataset features substantial, non-uniform missingness across modalities, making it ideal for evaluating robust multi-modal fusion strategies. Benchmarks on 12‑month overall survival, disease‑specific survival, and longitudinal hazard prediction demonstrate that integrating complementary modalities consistently outperforms uni-modal approaches, even under severe missing data.

NOAH is a generative transformer that models the entire multimodal patient journey by integrating bidirectional time and a variational latent space to capture continuous, stochastic clinical trajectories. Trained on over 559 million events from 431,000 hospital visits, it processes medical images, time‑series, numeric signals, categorical events, and both structured and unstructured records. The model supports autoregressive forecasting, zero‑shot classification, and counterfactual simulations, yielding strong predictive performance across 15 ICD chapters, 29 comorbidities, and time‑to‑event outcomes.

MultiSigBERT is a unified framework that performs multimodal sequential survival modeling in oncology by integrating narrative clinical reports, numerical measurements, and structured variables. The method converts free-text reports into sentence embeddings, compresses them with modality-specific PCA, and concatenates them with structured covariates to create joint temporal trajectories. These trajectories are encoded using the Signature transform from Rough Paths theory, and the resulting high-dimensional features are fed into a LASSO-regularized Cox model, achieving a concordance index of 0.743 on an independent test set of over 2,500 patients.
