New AI method uses patient labels to train cancer registry models

Researchers have developed a novel framework using Attention-Based Multiple Instance Learning (ABMIL) to train deep learning models for cancer registry tasks without requiring individual report annotations. This method leverages existing patient-level labels, which are typically not directly linked to individual pathology reports, to create a high-quality training dataset. The ABMIL approach demonstrated effectiveness in tumor group classification at the BC Cancer Registry, achieving a macro F1 score of 0.83 and outperforming other methods. AI

IMPACT This approach could significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of cancer registry workflows by enabling better use of existing data.

    Learning from Lost Provenance: Multiple Instance Learning for Cancer Registry Tumor Group Classification

    arXiv:2607.03481v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modernizing cancer registries with deep learning is opening new opportunities to automate labor-intensive tasks such as the coding of pathology reports. However, progress is constrained by the scarcity of report-level human-annotate…
