arXiv:2608.03247v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal learning has significantly advanced survival prediction by integrating pathology images with genomic data. However, clinical information, despite its critical role in reflecting a patient' s overall health, remains underutilized due to its discrete, sparse, and low-dimensional nature. Furthermore, the inherent heterogeneity across these modalities pose significant challenges in modeling cross-modal interactions. In this paper, we propose CIGTSurv, a Clinical Information Guided Tri-modal framework for Survival prediction. Specifically, we first design a holistic text template and use pretrained foundation models to transform clinical tabular data into high-dimensional tokenized embeddings. Using clinical information as an anchor, we then introduce a dual-level interaction mechanism: 1) a local prototype association (LPA) module based on cross-attention to explicitly learn token-level correspondences between different modalities, and 2) a global feature alignment (GFA) loss based on Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) to implicitly enhance cross-modal distribution consistency. Extensive experiments on five TCGA cancer cohorts demonstrate that CIGTSurv achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) survival prediction performance.
