Preliminary evaluation of deep learning for first-line diagnostic prediction of tumor mutational status.

ABSTRACT: The detection of tumour gene mutations by DNA or RNA sequencing is crucial for the prescription of effective targeted therapies. Recent developments showed promising results for tumoral mutational status prediction using new deep learning based methods on histopathological images. However, it is still unknown whether these methods can be useful aside from sequencing methods for efficient population diagnosis. In this retrospective study, we use a standard prediction pipeline based on a convolutional neural network for the detection of cancer driver genomic alterations in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) breast (BRCA, n = 719), lung (LUAD, n = 541) and colon (COAD, n = 459) cancer datasets. We propose 3 diagnostic strategies using deep learning methods as first-line diagnostic tools. Focusing
