Deep Learning for Grading Endometrial Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Endometrial cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women in the United States, with a lifetime risk of approximately 2.8%. Precise histologic evaluation and molecular classification of endometrial cancer are important for effective patient management and determining the best treatment options. This study introduces EndoNet, which uses convolutional neural networks for extracting histologic features and a vision transformer for aggregating these features and classifying slides into high- and low-grade cases. The model was trained on 929 digitized hematoxylin and eosin-stained whole-slide images of endometrial cancer from hysterectomy cases at Dartmouth-Health. It classifies these slides into low-grade (endometrioid grades 1 and 2) and high-grade (endometrioid carcinoma International Fed
