This project aims to break down large pathology images into small tiles and then cluster those tiles into distinct groups without the knowledge of true labels, our analysis shows how difficult certain aspects of clustering tumorous and…
Risk stratification is a key tool in clinical decision-making, yet current approaches often fail to translate sophisticated survival analysis into actionable clinical criteria. We present a novel method for unsupervised machine learning…
Definitive cancer diagnosis and management depend upon the extraction of information from microscopy images by pathologists. These images contain complex information requiring time-consuming expert human interpretation that is prone to…
The diagnosis of primary liver cancers (PLCs) can be challenging, especially on biopsies and for combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CCA). We automatically classified PLCs on routine-stained biopsies using a weakly supervised…
With the long-term rapid increase in incidences of colorectal cancer (CRC), there is an urgent clinical need to improve risk stratification. The conventional pathology report is usually limited to only a few histopathological features.…
Quantitative medical image computing (radiomics) has been widely applied to build prediction models from medical images. However, overfitting is a significant issue in conventional radiomics, where a large number of radiomic features are…
Cancer subtyping is crucial for understanding the nature of tumors and providing suitable therapy. However, existing labelling methods are medically controversial, and have driven the process of subtyping away from teaching signals.…
Risk stratification (characterization) of tumors from radiology images can be more accurate and faster with computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) tools. Tumor characterization through such tools can also enable non-invasive cancer staging,…
Histopathology-based survival modelling has two major hurdles. Firstly, a well-performing survival model has minimal clinical application if it does not contribute to the stratification of a cancer patient cohort into different risk groups,…
We propose an unsupervised method using self-clustering convolutional adversarial autoencoders to classify prostate tissue as tumor or non-tumor without any labeled training data. The clustering method is integrated into the training of the…
Defining and separating cancer subtypes is essential for facilitating personalized therapy modality and prognosis of patients. The definition of subtypes has been constantly recalibrated as a result of our deepened understanding. During…
Large amounts of unlabelled data are commonplace for many applications in computational pathology, whereas labelled data is often expensive, both in time and cost, to acquire. We investigate the performance of unsupervised and supervised…
Convolutional neural networks can be trained to perform histology slide classification using weak annotations with multiple instance learning (MIL). However, given the paucity of labeled histology data, direct application of MIL can easily…
Cancer histology reveals disease progression and associated molecular processes, and contains rich phenotypic information that is predictive of outcome. In this paper, we developed a computational approach based on deep learning to predict…
Molecular data from tumor profiles is high dimensional. Tumor profiles can be characterized by tens of thousands of gene expression features. Due to the size of the gene expression feature set machine learning methods are exposed to noisy…
According to GLOBOCAN 2020, prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide and the fourth most prevalent cancer overall. For pathologists, grading prostate cancer is challenging, especially when discriminating between…
Predictive marker patterns in imaging data are a means to quantify disease and progression, but their identification is challenging, if the underlying biology is poorly understood. Here, we present a method to identify predictive texture…
Accurate diagnosis of breast cancer in histopathology images is challenging due to the heterogeneity of cancer cell growth as well as of a variety of benign breast tissue proliferative lesions. In this paper, we propose a practical and…
Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases worldwide. Accurate diagnosis and classification of cancer subtypes are indispensable for effective clinical treatment. Promising results on automatic cancer subtyping systems have been published…
We propose a new methodology for selecting and ranking covariates associated with a variable of interest in a context of high-dimensional data under dependence but few observations. The methodology successively intertwines the clustering of…
