摘要
Accurate survival prediction of breast cancer holds significant meaning for improving patient care. Approaches using multiple heterogeneous modalities such as gene expression, copy number alteration, and clinical data have showed significant advantages over those with only one modality for patient survival prediction. However, existing survival prediction methods tend to ignore the structured information between patients and multimodal data. We propose a multimodal data fusion model based on a novel multimodal affinity fusion network (MAFN) for survival prediction of breast cancer by integrating gene expression, copy number alteration, and clinical data. First, a stack-based shallow self-attention network is utilized to guide the amplification of tiny lesion regions on the original data, which locates and enhances the survival-related features. Then, an affinity fusion module is proposed to map the structured information between patients and multimodal data. The module endows the network with a stronger fusion feature representation and discrimination capability. Finally, the fusion feature embedding and a specific feature embedding from a triple modal network are fused to make the classification of long-term survival or short-term survival for each patient. As expected, the evaluation results on comprehensive performance indicate that MAFN achieves better predictive performance than existing methods. Additionally, our method can be extended to the survival prediction of other cancer diseases, providing a new strategy for other diseases prognosis.
