Title
Pan-cancer analyses of imaging-clinical phenotype associations using updated PLCO cohorts

Summary
Machine learning methods can extract previously unknown associations from high-dimensional datasets. In this project, we will develop quantitative algorithms to process the radiology and histopathology images collected by the PLCO study. We will apply machine learning methods to identify the associations among radiology image patterns, microscopic pathology images, and clinical phenotypes of patients who participated in the updated PLCO cohorts. Our approach is expected to extract clinically relevant image patterns from radiology and pathology data.

Aims

Aim 1: To connect radiology image patterns with clinical phenotypes.

Aim 2: To associate the pathology image features with clinical phenotypes.

Aim 3: To correlate pathology and radiology image features.
