In simulated RCT time-to-event data, random survival forest retained predictive performance better when treatment-covariate interactions were present than when they were absent.

By 2026-10-01, authors reported a neutral comparison of Cox proportional hazards regression and random survival forest for predicting patient-specific survival probabilities, using varied simulation scenarios based on two RCT reference datasets and TRIPOD-aligned metrics. They observed that C-index-only conclusions did not generalize, that overall performance measures appeared more reasonable, and that splitting rule choice mattered for RSF.

Researchers used machine learning and LASSO regression on single-cell data to identify seven PANoptosis key genes and build a validated IDD risk diagnosis model, with experimental knockdown of ACSBG1 reducing degeneration in a rat model.

By October 2026, researchers reported using single-cell sequencing and machine learning to pinpoint seven PANoptosis-related genes associated with intervertebral disc degeneration and to build a risk diagnosis model. They validated expression patterns in patient nucleus pulposus samples and tested ACSBG1 knockdown in rats.

Researchers built and externally validated a machine learning model that identifies DCIS at high risk of progressing to invasive disease, enabling more precise risk stratification and clinical management.

Researchers analyzed coexisting ductal carcinoma in situ and invasive ductal carcinoma using spatial transcriptomics, single-cell RNA sequencing, and single-cell DNA sequencing to map how malignant cells and their microenvironment change at invasion.

A Random Forest model combining two tryptophan metabolites (kynurenine and neopterin) with five routine clinical tests discriminated MASLD from healthy controls with high diagnostic performance.

In a 179-person study of 80 healthy controls and 99 MASLD patients published September 2026, investigators used non-targeted and targeted metabolomics to identify dysregulated tryptophan metabolites and trained seven machine learning classifiers for MASLD discrimination, selecting a Random Forest model that combines kynurenine, neopterin and five routine labs.

Multi-omics biomarker approaches face persistent challenges in data heterogeneity, reproducibility, and clinical validation across diverse patient populations.

By November 2025, a review in Molecular Biomedicine synthesized multi-omics strategies integrating genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics, with emphasis on machine learning and deep learning for horizontal and vertical integration, including single-cell and spatial technologies.

Oncology AI systems can reproduce or amplify existing disparities across patient populations, and efforts to enforce fairness definitions often conflict with overall predictive performance.

As of the August 2026 commentary, AI was increasingly integrated into oncology for detection, risk stratification, treatment planning, and documentation. The authors reviewed evidence that these systems can reproduce or amplify disparities and examined technical sources of bias and competing statistical definitions of fairness.

When used for prostate MRI reporting, LLMs can hallucinate measurements, flip negations, misstate laterality, and overstate cancer likelihood, creating patient-safety and accountability risks especially if reports are copied outside clinical governance.

Published August 17 2026 in Abdominal Radiology, this Perspective examines large language models applied to prostate MRI reporting, a task where laterality, sector, size, PI-RADS, and staging language directly affect biopsy and treatment decisions and where patients often see reports via portals before clinician discussion.

Current AI systems for psychological assessment and treatment have not shown ability to produce meaningful and sustained clinical change, falling short due to memory limits, sycophancy, and focus on short-term helpfulness.

On 2026-08-17, a peer-reviewed framework paper argued that while large language models could augment psychological assessment and treatment, current technologies have not demonstrated sustained clinical benefit. The authors attribute this to poor integration of clinical science and to a duration mismatch between brief AI chats and months-long evidence-based treatments.
