Histopathological whole slide image dataset for classification of treatment effectiveness to ovarian cancer.

ABSTRACT: Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of gynecologic cancer death among women. Regardless of the development made in the past two decades in the surgery and chemotherapy of ovarian cancer, most of the advanced-stage patients are with recurrent cancer and die. The conventional treatment for ovarian cancer is to remove cancerous tissues using surgery followed by chemotherapy, however, patients with such treatment remain at great risk for tumor recurrence and progressive resistance. Nowadays, new treatment with molecular-targeted agents have become accessible. Bevacizumab as a monotherapy in combination with chemotherapy has been recently approved by FDA for the treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Prediction of therapeutic effects and individualization of therapeutic strategies are critical, but to the authors' best knowledge, there are no effective biomarkers that can be used to predict patient response to bevacizumab treatment for EOC and peritoneal serous papillary carcinoma (PSPC). This dataset helps researchers to explore and develop methods to predict the therapeutic effect of patients with EOC and PSPC to bevacizumab.

Project description:BackgroundModern molecular pathology workflows in neuro-oncology heavily rely on the integration of morphologic and immunohistochemical patterns for analysis, classification, and prognostication. However, despite the recent emergence of digital pathology platforms and artificial intelligence-driven computational image analysis tools, automating the integration of histomorphologic information found across these multiple studies is challenged by large files sizes of whole slide images (WSIs) and shifts/rotations in tissue sections introduced during slide preparation.MethodsTo address this, we develop a workflow that couples different computer vision tools including scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) and deep learning to efficiently align and integrate histopathological information found across multiple independent studies. We highlight the utility and automation potential of this workflow in the molecular subclassification and discovery of previously unappreciated spatial patterns in diffuse gliomas.ResultsFirst, we show how a SIFT-driven computer vision workflow was effective at automated WSI alignment in a cohort of 107 randomly selected surgical neuropathology cases (97/107 (91%) showing appropriate matches, AUC = 0.96). This alignment allows our AI-driven diagnostic workflow to not only differentiate different brain tumor types, but also integrate and carry out molecular subclassification of diffuse gliomas using relevant immunohistochemical biomarkers (IDH1-R132H, ATRX). To highlight the discovery potential of this workflow, we also examined spatial distributions of tumors showing heterogenous expression of the proliferation marker MIB1 and Olig2. This analysis helped uncover an interesting and unappreciated association of Olig2 positive and proliferative areas in some gliomas (r = 0.62).ConclusionThis efficient neuropathologist-inspired workflow provides a generalizable approach to help automate a variety of advanced immunohistochemically compatible diagnostic and discovery exercises in surgical neuropathology and neuro-oncology.

Project description:Digital pathology coupled with advanced machine learning (e.g., deep learning) has been changing the paradigm of whole-slide histopathological images (WSIs) analysis. Major applications in digital pathology using machine learning include automatic cancer classification, survival analysis, and subtyping from pathological images. While most pathological image analyses are based on patch-wise processing due to the extremely large size of histopathology images, there are several applications that predict a single clinical outcome or perform pathological diagnosis per slide (e.g., cancer classification, survival analysis). However, current slide-based analyses are task-dependent, and a general framework of slide-based analysis in WSI has been seldom investigated. We propose a novel slide-based histopathology analysis framework that creates a WSI representation map, called HipoMap, that can be applied to any slide-based problems, coupled with convolutional neural networks. HipoMap converts a WSI of various shapes and sizes to structured image-type representation. Our proposed HipoMap outperformed existing methods in intensive experiments with various settings and datasets. HipoMap showed the Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0.96±0.026 (5% improved) in the experiments for lung cancer classification, and c-index of 0.787±0.013 (3.5% improved) and coefficient of determination ([Formula: see text]) of 0.978±0.032 (24% improved) in survival analysis and survival prediction with TCGA lung cancer data respectively, as a general framework of slide-based analysis with a flexible capability. The results showed significant improvement comparing to the current state-of-the-art methods on each task. We further discussed experimental results of HipoMap as pathological viewpoints and verified the performance using publicly available TCGA datasets. A Python package is available at https://pypi.org/project/hipomap , and the package can be easily installed using Python PIP. The open-source codes in Python are available at: https://github.com/datax-lab/HipoMap .
