arXiv:2609.25088v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Survival prediction for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) demands models that are both accurate and interpretable, yet existing approaches treat these objectives as com- peting, where performant models sacrifice transparency, while interpretable models accept degraded predictive power. We argue that this trade-off is not inherent. Graph neural net-…

But is that prediction actually valid against real behaviour - and does the persona machinery help? We present a…
