This Project Grant award for $710,656, funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the federal Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research program (CFDA 93.394), aims to develop and validate a multi-stage, multi-modal risk prediction tool called the PROSPECT (Premalignant Oral Lesions Pathology and Epigenetic Risk Prediction Tool) Score. The project will leverage deep learning models using cytology, histology, and epigenomic data to risk-stratify oral premalignant lesions and predict progression to oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma.

Key project objectives include: 1) Training deep learning models using cytology and histology data to predict OPL progression risk, 2) Validating and merging the cytology, histology, and epigenomic data into the PROSPECT Score for sequential risk prediction, and 3) Testing the PROSPECT Score in a prospective, multi-institutional clinical study with diverse patient populations. The project aims to create a non-invasive, scalable tool to improve diagnosis and monitoring of high-risk oral premalignant lesions. Subgrantees University of Chicago and New York University will contribute expertise in digital pathology analysis and epigenomic profiling, respectively, to support development of the PROSPECT Score.
