Predicting oncogene mutations of lung cancer using deep learning and histopathologic features on whole-slide images.

ABSTRACT: Lung cancer is a leading cause of death in both men and women globally. The recent development of tumor molecular profiling has opened opportunities for targeted therapies for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients. However, the lack of access to molecular profiling or cost and turnaround time associated with it could hinder oncologists' willingness to order frequent molecular tests, limiting potential benefits from precision medicine. In this study, we developed a weakly supervised deep learning model for predicting somatic mutations of LUAD patients based on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) whole-slide images (WSIs) using LUAD subtypes-related histological features and recent advances in computer vision. Our study was performed on a total of 747 hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained FF
