LH2 Data — Multimodal Oncology Dataset

A large-scale, multimodal oncology dataset built around a principle rare in the field: placing non-Caucasian patient populations at the centre, not the periphery.


Dataset Summary

The vast majority of oncology datasets used to train diagnostic, prognostic, and treatment AI models are drawn overwhelmingly from Caucasian, Western populations — a well-documented limitation that undermines model generalisability and equity in real-world deployment. This dataset addresses this directly, offering a deeply multimodal oncology resource — genomic, clinical, imaging, and biospecimen — anchored across the Global South.

This sample contains structured clinical records for 20 de-identified cancer patients demonstrating the full schema. The complete dataset includes ~25,000 enrolled patients (target: 50,000 within 12 months) across 15 countries spanning the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.

Digital PathologyWhole slide images (WSIs) linked to genomic and clinical data across multiple cancer types.SVS, TIFF, DICOM
Clinical RecordsStructured longitudinal data across 13 categories: staging (AJCC pTNM), surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, radiation, PET-CT, molecular pathology (NGS, IHC), serum biomarkers, haematology, biochemistry, and performance status.Parquet, CSV, JSON
BiobankResidual FFPE tissue and extracted DNA/RNA for re-analysis and future modality generation.Physical specimens
Multimodal LinkedEvery modality joined at the patient level — DNA, tissue imaging, and clinical trajectories as linked records.Patient-level joins

Key Differentiators

  • —Non-Caucasian patient populations placed at the centre of dataset design — a principle rare in oncology AI
  • —Multimodal from day one: genomic + imaging + clinical + biospecimen, all linked per patient
  • —13 clinical data categories per patient including staging, surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, molecular pathology (NGS + IHC), PET-CT, serum biomarkers, haematology, and biochemistry
  • —15 countries across the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East — populations systematically absent from TCGA, ICGC, and most major oncology training datasets
  • —Physical biobank enables generation of future modalities (spatial transcriptomics, single-cell RNA-seq)
  • —Scalable cohort: 25,000 today → 50,000 target in 12 months

IP & Compliance

  • —Full commercial and AI/ML training rights secured under exclusive licensing agreement
  • —Ethics and informed consent frameworks aligned with source jurisdictions
  • —De-identified patient data — no personally identifiable information (PII)
  • —Compliant with applicable data protection and cross-border transfer regulations (DPDP Act 2023, HIPAA, GDPR as applicable)
