Abstract Background Digitized histopathological tissue slides and genomics profiling data are available for many patients with solid tumors. In the last 5 years, Deep Learning (DL) has been broadly used to extract clinically actionable information biological knowledge from pathology genomic in cancer. addition, a number of recent studies have introduced multimodal DL models designed simultaneously process both images as inputs. By comparing patterns one modality those another, capable achieving higher performance compared their unimodal counterparts. However, application these methodologies across various tumor entities clinical scenarios lacks consistency. Methods Here, we present systematic survey academic literature 2010 November 2023, aiming quantify pathology, genomics, combined use types. After filtering 3048 publications, our search identified 534 relevant articles which then were evaluated by basic (diagnosis, grading, subtyping) advanced (mutation, drug response survival prediction) types, publication year addressed cancer tissue. Results Our analysis reveals predominant genomics. there is notable surge incorporation within domains. Furthermore, while applied primarily targets identification histology-specific individual tissues, more commonly pan-cancer context. Multimodal DL, on contrary, remains niche topic, evidenced limited focusing prognosis predictions. Conclusion summary, quantitative indicates that not only well-established role histopathology but also being successfully integrated into applications. considerable potential harnessing further tasks, such predicting response. Nevertheless, this review underlines need research bridge existing gaps fields.

Cancer immunotherapy-including immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) and adoptive cell therapy (ACT)-has become a standard, potentially curative treatment for subset of advanced solid liquid tumors. However, most patients with cancer do not benefit from the rapidly evolving improvements in understanding principal mechanisms determining responsiveness (CIR); including patient-specific genetically determined acquired factors, as well intrinsic biology. Though CIR is multifactorial, fundamental concepts are emerging that should be considered design novel therapeutic strategies related clinical studies. Recent advancements approaches to address limitations current treatments discussed here, specific focus on ICI ACT.

Immunotherapy by immune checkpoint inhibitors has become a standard treatment strategy for many types of solid tumors. However, the majority patients with cancer will not respond, and predicting response to this therapy is still challenge. Artificial intelligence (AI) methods can extract meaningful information from complex data, such as image data. In clinical routine, radiology or histopathology images are ubiquitously available. AI been used predict immunotherapy images, either directly indirectly via surrogate markers. While none these currently in academic commercial developments pointing toward potential adoption near future. Here, we summarize state art AI-based biomarkers based on images. We point out limitations, caveats, pitfalls, including biases, generalizability, explainability, which relevant researchers health care providers alike, outline key use cases new class predictive biomarkers.
