• Abstract: Breast cancer is a highly fatal disease among cancers in women, and early detection is crucial for treatment. HER2 status, a valuable diagnostic marker based on Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining, is instrumental in determining breast cancer status. The high cost of IHC staining and the ubiquity of Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining make the conversion from H&E to IHC staining essential. In this article, we propose a destain-restain framework for converting H&E staining to IHC staining, leveraging the characteristic that H&E staining and IHC staining of the same tissue sections share the Hematoxylin channel. We further design loss functions specifically for Hematoxylin and Diaminobenzidin (DAB) channels to generate IHC images exploiting insights from separated staining channels. Beyond the benchmark metrics on BCI contest, we have developed semantic information metrics for the HER2 level. The experimental results demonstrated that our method outperforms previous open-sourced methods in terms of image intrinsic property and semantic information.

  IHC stains are crucial in pathology practice for resolving complex diagnostic questions and guiding patient treatment decisions. Small biopsies often lack sufficient tissue for multiple stains while preserving material for subsequent molecular testing. VIMs is the first model to address this need, leveraging a large vision-language single-step diffusion model for virtual IHC multiplexing.

  We held the breast cancerchemical image generation challenge, aiming to explore novel ideas of deep learning technology in pathological image generation. The challenge provided registered H&E and IHC-stained image pairs, and participants were required to use these images to train a model that can directly generate IHC-stained images from corresponding H&E-stained images. We selected and reviewed the five highest-ranking methods based on their PSNR and SSIM metrics, while also providing overviews of the corresponding pipelines and implementations.
