Explainable ML platform for researching cancer progression risk

A research system for assessing progression risk and analyzing therapy response over 3, 6 and 12-month horizons, based on available clinical data.

Designed for longitudinal clinical data

The platform builds a patient timeline: diagnosis, therapy, follow-up assessments, response and confirmed progression. This format makes it possible to study disease dynamics, not only isolated medical records.

Research ML platform modules

Disease progression

Structures clinical events around progression endpoints and supports research of risk patterns across defined time horizons.

Therapy response

Studies associations between clinical indicators and the risk of non-response or early progression during the current line of therapy.

Patient stratification

Groups cohorts by shared clinical patterns to support exploratory analysis of early-progression risk.

Imaging context

Imaging-derived features linked to clinical and molecular context. On the roadmap; not part of the first MVP.

Proprietary prognostic ML system

M1

Temporal modeling

Analyzes the sequence of clinical events and estimates progression risk at defined time horizons.

M2

Comparative validation

Compares several prognostic approaches and selects the configuration with stronger robustness, calibration and portability.

M3

Explainability and uncertainty

Shows the factors that influenced the result and reports when the available data are insufficient for a confident assessment.

Data foundation

First models trained on open, curated oncology cohorts

METABRIC

Molecular Taxonomy of Breast Cancer International Consortium — a large curated breast-cancer cohort with clinical and molecular annotation.

TCGA-BRCA

The Cancer Genome Atlas, Breast Invasive Carcinoma — a public multi-omic breast-cancer dataset used for cross-cohort signal validation.

These open cohorts are Western-derived. They establish the initial signal; validation on regional patient populations is the next step and no regional performance is claimed until then.

Platform

Longitudinal timeline

Raw records are normalized into a per-patient event sequence for research modeling of progression and therapy-response dynamics.

Risk bands under validation

Low, medium and high bands for 3, 6 and 12 months are treated as research outputs and must be validated before pilot use.

SHAP explanations

Research outputs can include contributing factors such as stage, Ki-67, lymph nodes and marker trends, so assumptions can be inspected.

Privacy-first deployment

Designed for de-identified data, local or private-cloud deployment and controlled data access during research pilots.

Uncertainty assessment

The interface is designed to indicate when data are incomplete, for example missing HER2 status or no recent follow-up assessment.

Reproducible pipelines

Traceable assumptions, versioned experiments and logged research outputs support auditability during model development.

Why we are building Fantom BioLabs

Fantom BioLabs team

Regional oncology centers accumulate years of clinical data, but those records are rarely used for systematic analysis of treatment dynamics. Our task is to turn de-identified archival histories into testable prognostic models that help researchers and clinicians better understand progression risk and uncertainty in the result.

We work with research and clinical teams on retrospective pilots, patient stratification and evidence generation for a research MVP.

Research Use Only. Fantom BioLabs is a research decision-support tool under development. It does not diagnose, does not change therapy and does not replace the clinician. It must not be used to alter treatment for an individual patient before full clinical validation.
