Classification of Hematologic Malignancies –
David Foran -- UMDNJ
Pathology Image Driven Decision Support
• Improve reproducibility in traditional Pathology
assessments (e.g. Gleason grade, NSCLC subtypes)
• Precise scoring of well known criteria ( tumor
infiltrating lymphocytes, mitoses and IHC staining)
• Development of novel computational methods to
employ Pathology image information to predict
response to cancer treatment and outcomes.

Deep Learning - Brain Tumor Classification – CVPR 2016
Twenty Years of Whole Slide Imaging - the Coming Phase Change
Digital Pathology as Precision Medicine
• Statistical analyses and machine learning to link Radiology/Pathology
features to “omics” and outcome biological phenomena
• Image analysis and deep learning methods to extract features from
images
• Support queries against ensembles of features extracted from multiple
datasets
• Identify and segment trillions of objects – nuclei, glands, ducts, nodules,
tumor niches
• Analysis of integrated spatially mapped structural/”omic” information to
gain insight into cancer mechanism and to choose best intervention

The future of Digital Pathology
Twenty Years of Whole Slide Imaging - the Coming Phase Change
Importance of Immune System in Cancer Treatment and Prognosis
• Tumor spatial context and cellular heterogeneity are important in cancer
prognosis
• Spatial TIL densities in different tumor regions have been shown to have
high prognostic value – they may be superior to the standard TNM
classification
• Immune related assays used to determine Checkpoint Inhibitor immune
therapy in several cancer types
• Strong relationships with molecular measures of tumor immune response
– results to soon appear in TCGA Pan Cancer Immune group publications
• TIL maps being computed for SEER Pathology studies and will be
routinely computed for data contributed to TCIA archive
• Ongoing study to relate TIL patterns with immune gene expression
groups and patient response
Imaging Based TIL Analysis
Workflow
Deep Learning Training, Validation and Prediction
• Algorithm first trained
on image patches
• Several cooperating
deep learning
algorithms generate
heat maps
• Heat maps used to
generate new
predictions
• Companion molecular
statistical data
