Accurate cancer diagnosis and tissue origin identification are crucial for precision oncology. We explored the potential of tumor-specific RNA transcripts (Tumor-SRTs) and tissue-specific RNA transcripts (Tissue-SRTs) as dual biomarkers using machine learning. Tumor-SRTs effectively distinguished malignant from normal tissues across training, test, and validation sets. Classifiers trained on 25 Tissue-SRTs exhibited high performance, validated externally with varying predictive accuracy across tissue types. We developed SRT-based Cancer Diagnostics (SRT-CD), an intelligent diagnostic system, to diagnose primary and metastatic cancers and determine tissue origin of Cancers of Unknown Primary. SRT-CD achieved top-1/top-3 accuracies of 80%/98.1% for primary and 76.9%/92.3% for metastatic cancers in external validation. This study establishes SRT-CD as a robust tool for clinical cancer diagnosis and tissue origin identification, and guiding personalized treatment strategies.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
