Abstract Cancer prognosis requires precision to identify high-risk patients and improve survival outcomes. Conventional methods struggle with the complexity of genetic biomarkers and diverse medical data. Our study uses deep learning to distil high-dimensional medical data into low-dimensional feature vectors exploring shared patterns across cancer types. We developed a multi-task bimodal neural network integrating RNA Sequencing and clinical data from three The Cancer Genome Atlas project datasets: Breast Invasive Carcinoma, Lung Adenocarcinoma, and Colon Adenocarcinoma. Our approach significantly improved prognosis prediction, especially for Colon Adenocarcinoma, with up to 26% increase in concordance index and 41% in the area under the precision-recall curve. External validation with Small Cell Lung Cancer achieved comparable metrics, indicating that supplementing small datasets with data from other cancers can improve performance. This work represents initial strides in using multi-task learning for prognosis prediction across cancer types, potentially revealing shared mechanisms among cancers and contributing to future applications in precision medicine. |
