Deep Learning-Based Classification of Lung, Kidney, and Breast Cancer Tumor Tissues Using Whole Slide Images from the TCGA Database
摘要
In the field of precision medicine, distinguishing cancerous tissues within Whole Slide Images (WSIs) is critical for early diagnosis and individualized treatment planning. This study introduces a deep learning framework to classify lung, breast, and kidney tumors using WSIs from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). State-of-the-art convolutional architectures, including CNNs, KimiaNet, and EfficientNet, are utilized for reliable feature extraction and preprocessing. The framework incorporates advanced segmentation techniques, such as color-based and deep learning-assisted segmentation, to isolate tumor regions, reducing background noise and improving classification accuracy. Quantitative evaluation using accuracy, F1-score, precision, and recall metrics demonstrates superior performance, with CNN achieving an overall accuracy of 99.0%, surpassing KimiaNet (81.37%) and EfficientNet (97.0%). The proposed framework showcases the potential for optimizing digital pathology workflows, supporting pathologists with high-precision automated analysis, and paving the way for future advancements in AI-driven clinical diagnostics.
