Towards interpretable prediction of recurrence risk in breast cancer using pathology foundation models
Transcriptomic assays such as the PAM50-based ROR-P score guide recurrence risk stratification in non-metastatic, ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer but are not universally accessible. Histopathology is routinely available and may offer a scalable alternative. We introduce MAKO, a benchmarking framework evaluating 12 pathology foundation models and two non-pathology baselines for predicting ROR-P scores from H&E-stained whole slide images using attention-based multiple instance learning. …
