Deep learning predicts cancer biomarker from MRI scans

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a deep learning model capable of predicting HER2 status in breast cancer brain metastases using only whole-brain T1-weighted MRI scans. The model achieved a ROC-AUC of 0.667, which slightly improved to 0.692 when provided with an explicit tumor mask. Despite these advancements, the modest performance indicates the challenge of predicting HER2 status solely from structural MRI, suggesting that deep learning models can extract predictive signals directly from MRI data without requiring precise tumor segmentation.

    Deep Learning-Based Prediction of HER2 Status from Whole-Brain MRI in Breast Cancer Brain Metastases

    arXiv:2610.32774v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Purpose: Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status is a key biomarker relevant for prognostication and treatment decision making in metastatic breast cancer. Thus, the aim of this work was to explore whether HER2 status…
