Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Accurate prognosis prediction for cancer patients plays a significant role in the formulation of treatment strategies, considerably impacting personalized medicine. Recent advancements in this field indicate that integrating information from various modalities, such as genetic and clinical data, and developing multi-modal deep learning models can enhance prediction accuracy. However, most existing multi-modal deep learning methods either overlook patient similarities that benefit prognosis prediction or fail to effectively capture diverse information due to measuring patient similarities from a single perspective. To address these issues, a novel framework called multi-modal multi-view graph convolutional networks (MMGCN) is proposed for cancer prognosis prediction.
