Summary

Current decision tools (TNM, MRI/PET, CEA, and other serum markers, as well as single-marker genomics) are insufficiently predictive of responders, fail to detect early MRD in many cases, and rarely connect molecular biology to dynamic perioperative data. SAFE-AI will build and validate multimodal, explainable GenAI models that fuse liquid/tissue multi-omics with radiology and clinical trajectories to:

(i) detect MRD earlier, (ii) improve recurrence-risk calibration, and (iii) support non-invasive "virtual biopsy"-inferring tissue-level features from blood profiles, and vice-versa, to mitigate missing-modality gaps. This is grounded in the strong mechanistic premise that integrating heterogeneous molecular signals with imaging captures tumour-host biology more completely than single-modality assays, enabling actionable, calibrated risk estimates for rectal and oesophageal cancer.

The clinical hypothesis is that such integrated models can improve recurrence prediction by at least 20% over guideline baselines, with transparent uncertainty and bias monitoring to meet EU AI Act/MDR expectations.
