Abstract
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women worldwide. Patients diagnosed with
breast cancer face the important question of what therapeutic regimens to choose, and they are eager to
know the effects of potentially applied treatments. While treatment decisions have become more refined
over time, they are not personalized and as such patients may still be over or undertreated. There is a
paramount need to integrate the multi-scale, multi-modal, and multi-timepoint patient data and to build
the capacity of systematically and accurately assessing a patient’s individual data to guide precision
treatments of breast cancer. The complexity of multi-modal datasets poses challenges for physicians to
interpret and integrate information, where artificial intelligence (AI) and data science are capable of
extracting, aggregating, and inferring predictive insights. The goal of this study is to develop ethically
designed AI prediction models using multi-modal data (clinical variables, medical images, and genomics
assays, from individual, macro-scale, to micro-scale and longitudinal) to assess treatment efficacy of
breast cancer and guide precision treatment decision-making. We propose establishing a multi-center
collaboration network (University of Pittsburgh, DukeUniversity, and MD Anderson Cancer Center) to
curate diverse patient data for the AI model development and evaluation. We have assembled an
experienced multi-disciplinary team with data scientists, oncologists, radiologists, geneticists, surgeons,
pathologists, biologists, and biostatisticians. We propose to study two specific aims to demonstrate the
concept by year 2 through establishing the team and collaboration network, delivering AI models,
contributing new AI techniques, and crafting plans for continued work.

Publications
Publications are associated with projects, but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding. This is due to the continuous and cumulative nature of knowledge generation across the life of a project and the sometimes long and variable publishing timeline. Similarly, for multi-component projects, publications are associated with the parent core project and not with individual sub-projects.
