摘 要: During the past decades, many studies have led to biomarkers for cancer outcome predictions, which assist clinicians on selecting the right treatment strategy. These biomarkers include both histopathological features and various types of omic data. However, there is a lack of a unified means for patient stratification which can effectively integrate the heterogeneous types of molecular and clinical data and improve accuracy on patient outcome prediction. I will present our recent work on integrating multiple types of omic data with histopathological features based on quantitative bioimage analysis using machine learning and visualization approaches.
