摘要:
使用苏木精和伊红(H&E)染色的组织对淋巴瘤亚型进行准确分类,因这些癌症可能表现出广泛的形态学特征而变得复杂。我们提出了LymphoML——一种可解释的机器学习方法,能够识别与淋巴瘤亚型相关的形态学特征。该方法应用一系列步骤来处理H&E染色的组织微阵列芯,分割细胞核和细胞,计算涵盖形态、纹理和结构的特征,并训练梯度提升模型以做出诊断预测。LymphoML的可解释模型在有限体积的H&E染色组织上开发,实现了与病理学家使用全切片图像不相上下的诊断准确率,并在来自危地马拉的670例病例(涵盖8种淋巴瘤亚型)的数据集上优于黑盒深度学习。使用SHapley Additive exPlanation(SHAP)分析,我们评估了每个特征对模型预测的影响,发现细胞核形状特征对DLBCL(F1分数:78.7%)和经典型霍奇金淋巴瘤(F1分数:74.5%)最具区分力。最后,我们首次证明,将H&E染色组织的特征与6种免疫染色的标准化组合的特征相结合的模型,其诊断准确率(85.3%)与46种染色组合(86.1%)相似。
英文摘要:
The accurate classification of lymphoma subtypes using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained tissue is complicated by the wide range of morphological features these cancers can exhibit. We present LymphoML - an interpretable machine learning method that identifies morphologic features that correlate with lymphoma subtypes. Our method applies steps to process H&E-stained tissue microarray cores, segment nuclei and cells, compute features encompassing morphology, texture, and architecture, and train gradient-boosted models to make diagnostic predictions. LymphoML's interpretable models, developed on a limited volume of H&E-stained tissue, achieve non-inferior diagnostic accuracy to pathologists using whole-slide images and outperform black box deep-learning on a dataset of 670 cases from Guatemala spanning 8 lymphoma subtypes. Using SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP) analysis, we assess the impact of each feature on model prediction and find that nuclear shape features are most discriminative for DLBCL (F1-score: 78.7%) and classical Hodgkin lymphoma (F1-score: 74.5%). Finally, we provide the first demonstration that a model combining features from H&E-stained tissue with features from a standardized panel of 6 immunostains results in a similar diagnostic accuracy (85.3%) to a 46-stain panel (86.1%).
