NCI-Supported Study Uses Deep Learning for Cancer Prognosis

An NCI training grant and resources such as the NCI Cancer Research Data Commons’ Genomic Data Commons, in part, made it possible for this study to use multimodal deep learning. This model allowed researchers to examine pathology whole slide images and molecular profile data from 14 cancer types to enable more accurate patient outcome predictions.
