The advancement of medical research in the field of cancer prognosis and diagnosis using various modalities has put oncologists under tremendous stress. The complexity and heterogeneity involved in multiple modalities and their significantly varied clinical outcomes make it difficult to analyze the disease and provide the correct treatment. Breast cancer is the major concern among all cancers worldwide, specifically for females. To help oncologists and cancer patients, research for breast cancer survival estimation has been proposed. It ranges from complex deep neural networks to simple and interpretable architectures. We propose a utility kernel for a support vector machine (SVM) in this article. It is a simple yet powerful function, which performs better than other popular machine learning algorithms and deep neural networks in the task of breast cancer survival prediction using the TCGA-BRCA dataset. This study validates the proposed utility kernel using four different modalities (gene expression, copy number variation, clinical, and histopathological tissue images) and their multi-modal combinations. The SVM based on our utility kernel empirically proves its efficacy by achieving the highest value on various performance measures, whereas advanced deep neural networks fail to train on small and highly imbalanced breast cancer data.
