Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine, and in particular to a method, system, computer device and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for predicting the relative survival risk of breast cancer by combining histological whole-slide images and gene mutation tags. Background Art
[0002] According to World Health Organization cancer data (https: / / www.who.int / en / news-room / fact-sheets / detail / cancer)[1], breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death in women. Breast cancer is a very complex disease, and the outcomes of different patients often vary greatly. Currently, standard breast cancer treatment regimens include surgery (mastectomy), chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and possibly hormone therapy or targeted therapy. Existing treatment regimens aim to remove tumors and kill any remaining tumor cells, and often need to be adjusted according to the patient's tumor grade and overall health status. Therefore, if the survival risk of patients can be predicted more accurately, it can help doctors better adjust treatment regimens.
[0003] Existing breast cancer survival analysis methods can be classified into three categories according to the data they use: methods that only use imaging data, such as "Assessing risk of breast cancer recurrence" by Barnes et al. (US Patent Application No. 10489904) [2] and "Assessment of nodalinvolvement and survival analysis in breast cancer patients using imagecytometric data: statistical, neural network and fuzzy approaches" by Seker, Huseyin et al. (Anticancerresearch 22.1A (2002): pp. 433-438 [3]; methods that only use genomics data, such as "SALMON: survival analysis learning with multi-omics neural networks on breast cancer" by Huang, Zhi, et al. (Frontiers in genetics 10 (2019): 166) [4], "Deep learning-based feature-level integration of multi-omics data for breast cancer patients survival analysis" by Li, et al. (BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making, (2020) 20:225) [5], "12-gene prognostic signature for breast cancer survival" by Snijders, et al. (U.S. Patent Application No. 10876767) [6], "Methods for determining a prognosis for survival for a patient with breast cancer" by Pendino, et al. (U.S. Patent Application No. 9512484) [7], and "Breast cancer prognosis assessment model and method for establishing the same" by Wang, Xin, et al. (Chinese Patent Application Publication No. CN110656173A) [8]; and methods that only use clinical data, such as "Construction the model on the breast cancer survival analysis using support vector machine, logistic regression and decision tree" by Chao, Cheng-Min, et al. (Journal of medical systems 38.10 (2014): pp. 1-7) [9] and "A method for predicting breast cancer prognosis survival rate based on dynamic Cox model" by Teng, Jing, et al. (Chinese Patent Application Publication No. CN108922628A)
[10] .
[0004] Specifically, reference [2] uses whole-slide histopathological images to predict the recurrence risk (high risk / low risk) of breast cancer patients. Reference [3] uses the data of cell counts in images to predict the 5-year survival status of breast cancer patients. Reference [4] is based on multi-omics data (mRNA sequencing data, miRNA sequencing data, copy number burden, tumor mutation burden, estrogen and progesterone receptor status), and uses deep learning methods to predict the survival risk of breast cancer patients. Reference [5] also uses multi-omics data (gene expression, DNA methylation, miRNA expression, copy number variation), and uses deep learning methods to predict the survival risk of breast cancer patients. Reference [6] proposes a prognostic index based on 12 genes. Reference [7] uses the expression level of CXXC5 mRNA to predict the survival risk of breast cancer patients and monitor the effectiveness of breast cancer treatment. Reference [8] extracts 190 genes based on the analysis of the expression levels of RNA sequence data and uses a support vector machine to predict whether breast cancer patients will relapse. Reference [9] is based on clinical data (pathological grade, whether chemotherapy is received, whether radiotherapy is received, age, tumor size, number of lymph nodes examined, number of lymph nodes attacked), and uses a support vector machine, logistic regression or decision tree to predict whether breast cancer patients will survive. Reference
[10] is based on clinical data (tumor size and location, number of lymph nodes examined, number of lymph nodes attacked), and uses a dynamic Cox model to predict the survival risk of breast cancer patients.
[0005] All these techniques only use a single data source, and the information contained therein is limited. Summary of the Invention

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0036] The present invention will now be described only by way of non-limiting examples with reference to the accompanying drawings, where:
[0037] Figure 1 Schematically shows the process of obtaining image features from a histological whole slide of a patient according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0038] Figure 2 Schematically shows a siamese network designed for predicting relative survival risk according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0039] Figure 3 Schematically shows the concordance index (c-index) of a 5-fold cross-validation experiment on the TCGA-BRCA dataset using three inputs: only image features, only genomic features, and image features and genomic features, respectively, according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0040] The inventors of the present invention have experimentally confirmed that the combination of imaging data and genomic data helps to improve the accuracy of predicting breast cancer survival risk. The information contained in imaging data and genomic data is different, and there is no relevant research on the combination of the two.
[0041] Regarding the selection of imaging data features, Figure 1Shows the process of obtaining image features from a patient's histological whole slide according to an embodiment of the present invention. The specific details are described as follows.
[0042] For a patient, there may often be multiple histological whole slide images. Therefore, the inventor assumes that patient p i has N i histological whole slide images of size . Usually, histological whole slide images are very large, and it is impractical to directly use them as input to train a network. In addition, the tumor area in the image is less than the normal area, and the imbalance of this data will also make training more difficult. To alleviate these difficulties, the inventor divides the N i images into image patches, extracts features from the image patches, clusters the image patches into several categories, and uses the mean value of the image features of each category as the image feature of patient p i , as shown in Figure 1 . Specifically, the size of the image patch is 256×256×3, which is obtained by slicing side by side on a histological whole slide image with a 20-fold physical magnification. Patient p i has a total of M i image patches. During the generation of the image patches, image patches with a particularly large brightness mean (background patches) are directly discarded. Next, the color of the image patches is normalized (refer to Marc Macenko et al., “A method for normalizing histology slides for quantitative analysis”, 2009 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging: From Nano to Macro (ISBI)
[11] ) to reduce the color difference of the image patches sliced from different histological whole slides. Then, a pre-trained neural network called PNASNet (which is trained with the general image classification large database ImageNet, refer to Chenxi Liu et al., “Progressive neural architecture search”, Proceedings of the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV). 2018
[12] ) is used to extract features from the color-normalized image patches. When extracting features, the inventor uses average pooling and max pooling respectively, and combines the obtained features together to improve robustness. In this way, the feature dimension of patient p i is M i×8640. Next, the inventor uses a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) trained on the features of non-tumor region image patches (roughly delimited by doctors, and usually the data of 10 whole histological sections is sufficient for training) to filter the above-extracted features, screening out the first one-third of the image patches with higher scores to filter out non-tumor region image patches. Finally, using the K-means method, the obtained features are clustered into 128 classes, and the 128 class centers are sorted in ascending order of the above GMM scores. These 128 sorted class centers are used as the final image features, with a dimension of 128×8640.
[0043] The following describes the selection of genomic features. There are many gene mutations in breast cancer patients. For example, for the TCGA-BRCA dataset (refer to "Radiology Data from The Cancer Genome Atlas Breast Invasive Carcinoma [TCGA BRCA] collection" by Lingle W et al., The Cancer Imaging Archive, 2016
[13] ), there are a total of 21,057 gene mutation records. The number of these gene mutations is too large and some are redundant. Therefore, the inventor needs to select important gene mutations from these alternative gene mutations. When selecting genes, the inventor only uses the data of the training set to avoid information leakage. Specifically, for each alternative gene, the training set is divided into two parts according to whether the gene has a mutation. Then the inventor uses the log-rank test to calculate the significance level of the two subsets in terms of survival time. Finally, those alternative genes with p-values less than 0.05 are selected as genomic features. Typically, only hundreds of genes will be retained after screening. This screening reduces the feature dimension while enhancing the discriminative power of the features.
[0044] Figure 2 Shows a designed twin network for predicting relative survival risk according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0045] For the survival risk prediction problem, the absolute value of the risk is usually meaningless. Only the relative magnitude of the survival risks of two patients is meaningful. To this end, the solution of the present invention designs a twin network (refer to "Learning a similarity metric discriminatively, with application to face verification" by S. Chopra et al., In Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, pages 539–546, IEEE, 2005
[14] ) to meet this requirement, as Figure 2as shown
[0046] The image features are processed by an independent recurrent neural network (IndRNN) (refer to "Independently recurrent neural network (IndRNN): Building a longer and deeper RNN" by Shuai Li et al., Proceedings of the IEEE conference on computer vision and pattern recognition (CVPR). 2018
[15] ), and the genomic features are processed by a fully connected network (FCN). The IndRNN model used has 2 layers, with 1024 hidden nodes in each layer. The FCN used consists of 3 layers, with the number of nodes in each layer being 1024, 512, and 256 respectively. Next, the processed features (with dimensions of 1024 and 256 respectively) are concatenated as joint features (with a dimension of 1280). For a pair of patients (p i , p j ), after their features are processed by a network with shared weights respectively, the difference of their joint features (the corresponding elements of the p i features and the p j features are directly subtracted) is fed into the output linear layer to predict the relative risk. If patient p i has a higher survival risk, it is labeled as 1, otherwise it is labeled as 0. This prediction problem becomes a binary classification problem, so the cross-entropy loss function can be used to guide the training process.
[0047] Existing methods usually directly estimate the absolute survival risk of patients. For example, in "Predicting cancer outcomes from histology and genomics using convolutional networks" by P. Mobadersany et al. (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, vol. 115, no. 13, pp E2970 - E2979, 2018
[16] ) and "Whole slide images based cancer survival prediction using attention guided deep multiple instance learning networks" by Yao, Jiawen et al. (Medical Image Analysis 65 (2020) 101789
[17] ), and use the partial negative log - likelihood as the loss function. Compared with existing methods, the advantages of using the above - mentioned siamese network are as follows: (a) Only relative survival risk is meaningful, and the siamese network of the present invention directly processes relative survival risk. (b) Pairs of patients are used as the input to the network, rather than individual patients. Therefore, assuming the number of patients is P, the number of training samples is of the order of O(P^2). Furthermore, using pairs of patients as the input greatly increases the amount of training samples, making the training process easier. (c) The proposed method is not affected by the batch size in training. When the batch size is limited due to the graphics card memory size, the training samples cannot be loaded into memory simultaneously. For existing methods, when the batch size is limited, not all pairs of patient combinations are visible during one training epoch, so the training process may not be stable. Correspondingly, in the method of the present invention, for one training epoch, all pairs of patients will be traversed regardless of whether the batch size is large or small. Therefore, the method of the present invention is not affected by the batch size and its training process is stable.
[0048] Figure 3 The concordance index (c - index) of the 5 - fold cross - validation experiment on the TCGA - BRCA dataset using three types of inputs: only image features, only genomic features, and image features and genomic features respectively, according to an embodiment of the present invention, is shown. The specific details are described as follows.
[0049] In the TCGA-BRCA dataset, a total of 1,026 patients had both histological whole-slide images and gene mutation labels. Among these patients, 882 patients were right-censored and 144 patients experienced events (i.e., died of breast cancer). Considering this data imbalance, when dividing the training set and the test set, the solution of the present invention used a stratified sampling method. The ratio of the training set to the test set is 4 / 1. In the experiment, the solution of the present invention adopted 5-fold cross-validation, and the evaluation index used was the coincidence index. The solution of the present invention tested the prediction accuracy under different input conditions: using only image features, using only genomic features, and using both features simultaneously. The coincidence index on the test set is as Figure 3 shown, and higher prediction accuracy can be obtained by using both features than using a single feature.
