• Abstract: The most prevalent form of bladder cancer is urothelial carcinoma, characterized by a high recurrence rate and substantial lifetime treatment costs for patients. Grading is a prime factor for patient risk stratification, although it suffers from inconsistencies and variations among pathologists. Moreover, absence of annotations in medical imaging difficults training deep learning models. To address these challenges, we introduce a pipeline designed for bladder cancer grading using histological slides. First, it extracts urothelium tissue tiles at different magnification levels, employing a convolutional neural network for processing for feature extraction. Then, it engages in the slide-level prediction process. It employs a nested multiple instance learning approach with attention to predict the grade. To distinguish different levels of malignancy within specific regions of the slide, we include the origins of the tiles in our analysis. The attention scores at region level is shown to correlate with verified high-grade regions, giving some explainability to the model. Clinical evaluations demonstrate that our model consistently outperforms previous state-of-the-art methods.

  Pathologists diagnose and grade prostate cancer by examining tissue from needle biopsies on glass slides.

This paper proposes an automated workflow that follows pathologists' textitmodus operandi, isolating and classifying multi-scale patches of individual glands.

  Current approaches for classification of whole slide images (WSI) in digital pathology predominantly utilize a two-stage learning pipeline. A major drawback of such approaches is the requirement for task-specific auxiliary labels which are not acquired in clinical routine. We propose a novel learning pipeline for WSI classification that is trainable end-to-end and does not require any auxiliary annotations.
