This platform is a privacy-preserving,
federated learning system designed to integrate whole-slide
digital pathology images with matched molecular profiling and clinical
metadata for improved diagnosis,
subtyping, and prognostic
estimation of gynecologic tumors. The architecture comprises local institutional nodes that retain raw
patient data while participating in distributed model training coordinated by a central
orchestration server. Each local node preprocesses whole-slide images into patch-level tensors, extracts visual embeddings via convolutional backbones, and processes molecular vectors (e.g., somatic mutations, expression summaries, copy-number measures) via a molecular
encoder. A multimodal fusion module - implemented as an attention- based
transformer - integrates image and molecular embeddings into a unified representation used by multi-task heads for classification (histologic subtype, diagnostic
label) and regression (risk
score). The
federated learning controller aggregates encrypted model updates (FedAvg) and returns improved global weights without exchanging
raw data, enabling cross-site generalization while preserving patient privacy. Explainability components generate attention maps and tile-level saliency (Grad-
CAM style) linked to molecular features, providing interpretable morpho- molecular correlations to pathologists. The platform supports API integration with PACS / LIMS, conforms to privacy standards via optional
differential privacy and secure aggregation
layers, and is extensible to additional
omics modalities or transfer / fine-tuning workflows for related tumor types. By combining multimodal fusion, federated training, and clinician-facing
interpretability, the
system accelerates robust, generalizable AI for precision
pathology in gynecologic
oncology.
