Abstract

DeePathNet integrates cancer-specific biological pathways using transformer-based deep learning for enhanced cancer analysis. It outperforms existing models in predicting drug responses, cancer types, and subtypes. By enabling pathway-level biomarker discovery, DeePathNet represents a significant advancement in cancer research and could lead to more effective treatments.
