Deep Learning Study Targets Biomarkers of Early-Stage Liver Cancer
A new arXiv paper examines whether deep learning and explainable AI methods can help diagnose hepatocellular carcinoma and pinpoint biomarkers across five stages of disease progression. The work uses a transcriptomic biomarker dataset for liver cancer, aiming for models whose predictions can be traced to interpretable biological features. The authors frame it as an early exploration of combining accuracy with explainability in cancer diagnostics.
