Biosensors play a crucial role in detecting cancer signals by orchestrating a series of intricate biological and physical transduction processes. Among various cancers, breast cancer stands out due to its genetic underpinnings, which trigger uncontrolled cell proliferation, predominantly impacting women, and resulting in significant mortality rates. The utilization of biosensors in predicting survival time becomes paramount in formulating an optimal treatment strategy. However, conventional biosensors employing traditional machine learning methods encounter challenges in preprocessing features for the learning task. Despite the potential of deep learning techniques to automatically extract useful features, they often struggle to effectively leverage the intricate relationships between features and instances. To address this challenge, our study proposes a novel smart biosensor architecture that integrates a multi-view multi-way graph learning (MVMWGL) approach for predicting breast cancer survival time. This innovative approach enables the assimilation of insights from gene interactions and biosensor similarities. By leveraging real-world data, we conducted comprehensive evaluations, and our experimental results unequivocally demonstrate the superiority of the MVMWGL approach over existing methods.
