We propose a Deep learning-based weak label learning method for analysing whole slide images (WSIs) of Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stained tumorcells not requiring pixel-level or tile-level annotations using Self-supervised pre-training and heterogeneity-aware deep Multiple Instance LEarning (DeepSMILE). We apply DeepSMILE to the task of Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) and microsatellite instability (MSI) prediction. We utilize contrastive self-supervised learning to pre-train a feature extractor on histopathology tiles of cancer tissue. Additionally, we use variability-aware deep multiple instance learning to learn the tile feature aggregation function while modeling tumor heterogeneity. Compared to state-of-the-art genomic label classification methods, DeepSMILE improves classification performance for HRD from $70.43pm4.10%$ to $83.79pm1.25%$ AUC and MSI from $78.56pm6.24%$ to $90.32pm3.58%$ AUC in a multi-center breast and colorectal cancer dataset, respectively. These improvements suggest we can improve genomic label classification performance without collecting larger datasets. In the future, this may reduce the need for expensive genome sequencing techniques, provide personalized therapy recommendations based on widely available WSIs of cancer tissue, and improve patient care with quicker treatment decisions - also in medical centers without access to genome sequencing resources.
Multiple instance learning (MIL) is the preferred approach for whole slide image classification. However, most MIL approaches do not exploit the interdependencies of tiles extracted from a whole slide image, which could provide valuable cues for clas
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal cancer of the female reproductive organs. There are $5$ major histological subtypes of epithelial ovarian cancer, each with distinct morphological, genetic, and clinical features. Currently, these histotypes are dete
Deep Learning-based computational pathology algorithms have demonstrated profound ability to excel in a wide array of tasks that range from characterization of well known morphological phenotypes to predicting non-human-identifiable features from his
The rapidly emerging field of computational pathology has the potential to enable objective diagnosis, therapeutic response prediction and identification of new morphological features of clinical relevance. However, deep learning-based computational
The application of deep learning to pathology assumes the existence of digital whole slide images of pathology slides. However, slide digitization is bottlenecked by the high cost of precise motor stages in slide scanners that are needed for position
