Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women, and because it has a high mortality rate, it is urgent to develop computational methods to increase the accuracy of breast cancer survival predictive models. Although multi-omics data such as gene expression have been extensively used in recent studies, the accurate prognosis of breast cancer remains a challenge. Somatic mutations are another important and promising data source for studying cancer development, and its effect on the prognosis of breast cancer remains to be further explored. Meanwhile, these omics datasets are high-dimensional and redundant. Therefore, we adopted multiple kernel learning (MKL) to efficiently integrate somatic mutation to currently molecular data including gene expression, copy number variation (CNV), methylation, and protein expression data for the prediction of breast cancer survival. Before integration, the maximum relevance minimum redundancy (mRMR) feature selection method was utilized to select features that present high relevance to survival and low redundancy among themselves for each type of data. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method achieved the most optimal performance and there was a remarkable improvement in the prediction performance when somatic mutations were included, indicating that somatic mutations are critical for improving breast cancer survival predictions. Moreover, mRMR was superior to other feature selection methods used in previous studies. Furthermore, MKL outperformed the other traditional classifiers in multi-omics data integration. Our analysis indicated that through employing promising omics data such as somatic mutations and harnessing the power of proper feature selection methods and effective integration frameworks, the breast cancer survival predictive accuracy can be further increased, thereby providing a more optimal clinical diagnosis and more effective treatment for breast cancer patients.

Automated artificial intelligence (AI) systems enable the integration of different types of data from various sources for clinical decision-making. The aim of this study is to propose a pipeline to develop a fully automated clinician-friendly AI-enabled database platform for breast cancer survival prediction. A case study of breast cancer survival cohort from the University Malaya Medical Centre was used to develop and evaluate the pipeline. A relational database and a fully automated system were developed by integrating the database with analytical modules (machine learning, automated scoring for quality of life, and interactive visualization). The developed pipeline, iSurvive has helped in enhancing data management as well as to visualize important prognostic variables and survival rates. The embedded automated scoring module demonstrated quality of life of patients whereas the interactive visualizations could be used by clinicians to facilitate communication with patients. The pipeline proposed in this study is a one-stop center to manage data, to automate analytics using machine learning, to automate scoring and to produce explainable interactive visuals to enhance clinician-patient communication along the survivorship period to modify behaviours that relate to prognosis. The pipeline proposed can be modelled on any disease not limited to breast cancer.
