• Abstract: The advent of digital pathology presents opportunities for computer vision for fast, accurate, and objective solutions for histopathological images and aid in knowledge discovery. This work uses deep learning to predict genomic biomarkers - TP53 mutation, PIK3CA mutation, ER status, PR status, HER2 status, and intrinsic subtypes, from breast cancer histopathology images. Furthermore, we attempt to understand the underlying morphology as to how these genomic biomarkers manifest in images. Since gene sequencing is expensive, not always available, or even feasible, predicting these biomarkers from images would help in diagnosis, prognosis, and effective treatment planning. We outperform the existing works with a minimum improvement of 0.02 and a maximum of 0.13 AUROC scores across all tasks. We also gain insights that can serve as hypotheses for further experimentations, including the presence of lymphocytes and karyorrhexis. Moreover, our fully automated workflow can be extended to other tasks across other cancer subtypes.

  Using AI on routine H&E slides offers a fast and economical approach to screen for multiple molecular biomarkers. We present a high- throughput AI-based system leveraging Virchow2, a foundation model pre-trained on 3 million slides. Unlike traditional methods that train individual models for each biomarker or cancer type, our system employs a unified model to simultaneously predict a wide range of clinically relevant molecular biomarkers.
