TL;DR
It is argued that precision-oncology AI should be evaluated not only by C-index, but by an integrated evidence package: discrimination, calibration, decision utility, subgroup fairness.
Abstract
- Multi-omics survival models for precision oncology are increasingly capable of producing patient-level risk estimates, subtype projections and molecular explanations. Yet a model that performs adequately in retrospective validation is not automatically ready for clinical use. The translational problem is broader than model architecture: oncology teams must determine whether genomic risk predictions can be exchanged through interoperable health information systems, audited for subgroup bias, interpreted by clinicians, monitored for drift and governed as decision support rather than autonomous diagnosis. This article develops an interoperable, bias-audited and human-in-the-loop decision-support framework for multi-omics precision oncology, using lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) as the applied case. The empirical basis combines four evidence layers: a TCGA-LUAD and MSK-IMPACT transformer manuscript, a DNA/RNA multi-omics survival thesis, an individualized LUAD patient report, and a reproducible secondary-data design linked to public TCGA/Kaggle and cBioPortal data pathways. The attached research record shows that a ridge RNA+clinical baseline achieved the strongest discrimination (C-index = 0.724), while the full DNA/RNA multi-omics model achieved lower aggregate discrimination (C-index = 0.682) but improved biological interpretability, temporal stability and clinical-decision value. The transformer system achieved moderate internal discrimination and modest external transportability, while still producing meaningful risk ordering and Integrated Gradients explanations. A simulated silent-mode workflow analysis then demonstrates how a standards-based clinical implementation layer can reduce review burden, improve missing-data controls, strengthen override documentation and surface subgroup-specific calibration risk before any prospective deployment. The paper argues that precision-oncology AI should be evaluated not only by C-index, but by an integrated evidence package: discrimination, calibration, decision utility, subgroup fairness
- Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains biologically heterogeneous and clinically difficult to stratify with a single data modality. Transformer architectures can, in principle, model cross-modality interactions among RNA expression, somatic mutation, copy-number variation (CNV), and clinical variables, but their clinical...

Current evidence is insufficient to establish improvements in MDT decision quality or patient outcomes, and AI should be regarded as a supervised support tool rather than a replacement for expert multidisciplinary judgment.

Translating genetic variations into clinically useful molecular interpretations in neuro-oncology remains difficult, requiring physicians to examine many databases and resources. We created NeuroGeno3D, a browser-based clinical decision support platform that combines structural bioinformatics, molecular pathology, and...

Cross-cohort evaluation of multi-omics prognostic models can fail because molecular features are not assayable, fitted models do not transport, feature selection is unstable, or molecular data add little beyond clinical predictors. We used a dual-track evaluation design with TCGA-BRCA as the source cohort and METABRIC...
