Multi-Instance Multi-Label Learning for Gene Mutation Prediction in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Gene mutation prediction in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is of great diagnostic and prognostic value for personalized treatments and precision medicine. In this paper, we tackle this problem with multi-instance multi-label learning to address the difficulties on label correlations, label representations, etc. Furthermore, an effective oversampling strategy is applied for data imbalance. Experimental results have shown the superiority of the proposed approach.

Multi-Phase Cross-modal Learning for Noninvasive Gene Mutation Prediction in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer and the fourth most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Understanding the underlying gene mutations in HCC provides great prognostic value for treatment planning and targeted therapy. Radiogenomics has revealed an association between non-invasive imaging features and molecular genomics. However, imaging feature identification is laborious and error-prone. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end deep learning framework for mutation prediction in APOB, COL11A1 and ATRX genes using multiphasic CT scans. Considering intra-tumour heterogeneity (ITH) in HCC, multi-region sampling technology is implemented to generate the dataset for experiments. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model.
