Researchers have developed a novel method for predicting survival rates in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients using multimodal data. This approach integrates pretreatment computed tomography (CT) scans, radiomics, clinical variables, and newly introduced simulation-derived proxy features. These proxy features are designed to capture complex interactions between tumor heterogeneity and morphology, which are often missed by traditional methods. The proposed model, utilizing a Transformer-based Masked Autoencoder, achieved a C-index of 0.641 on the Lung1 cohort, outperforming previous multimodal prediction results. AI
