Fig. 1: Overview of the multimodal head and neck cancer dataset.

A Data sources. For cancer diagnosis, demographics were assessed, and blood tests were performed. In the ablative surgery, tissue samples were obtained, and the pathological report was written. The dataset also features information about the treatment choice, events, and survival. B Image data of a patient. Shown are Whole Slide Images of the primary tumor and lymph node with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and Tissue Microarray cores from the tumor center and invasion front with HE and immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. Scale bar as indicated (1 cm for WSI and 1 mm for TMAs). C Demographical data, shown as the number of patients per sex, smoking status, and age at initial diagnosis. D Laboratory data. Shown is the number of patients for which each parameter is available. The colors indicate values inside or outside of the normal range. E Primary tumor site or CUP (cancer of unknown primary) and grading from the pathology report. HPV-associated carcinoma was not graded. F Number of words in each German surgery report grouped by pathological T stage (N = 742 in total). Boxplots show Q1–Q3 interval with median, whiskers are 1.5 × the inter-quartile (Q1–Q3) range. G Kaplan-Meier plot of overall survival with 95% confidence interval shown as shaded error. The icons for demographics, surgery reports, therapy, and event data are CC BY licensed from Font Awesome.
