ConvLSTM coordinated longitudinal transformer under spatio-temporal features for tumor growth prediction.

Accurate quantification of tumor growth patterns can indicate the development process of the disease. According to the important features of tumor growth rate and expansion, physicians can intervene and diagnose patients more efficiently to improve the cure rate. However, the existing longitudinal growth model can not well analyze the dependence between tumor growth pixels in the long space-time, and fail to effectively fit the nonlinear growth law of tumors.
