Cancer diagnosis using deep learning: A bibliographic review
In this paper, we first describe the basics of the field of cancer diagnosis, which includes steps of cancer diagnosis followed by the typical classification methods used by doctors, providing a historical idea of cancer classification techniques to the readers. These methods include Asymmetry, Border, Color and Diameter (ABCD) method, seven-point detection method, Menzies method, and pattern analysis. They are used regularly by doctors for cancer diagnosis, although they are not considered very efficient for obtaining better performance. Moreover, considering all types of audience, the basic evaluation criteria are also discussed. The criteria include the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve), Area under the ROC curve (AUC), F1 score, accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, precision, dice-coefficient, average accuracy, and Jaccard index. Previously used methods are considered inefficient, asking for better and smarter methods for cancer diagnosis. Artificial intelligence and cancer diagnosis are gaining attention as a way to define better diagnostic tools. In particular, deep neural networks can be successfully used for intelligent image analysis. The basic framework of how this machine learning works on medical imaging is provided in this study, i.e., pre-processing, image segmentation and post-processing. The second part of this manuscript describes the different deep learning techniques, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), generative adversarial models (GANs), deep autoencoders (DANs), restricted Boltzmann’s machine (RBM), stacked autoencoders (SAE), convolutional autoencoders (CAE), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), long short-term memory (LTSM), multi-scale convolutional neural network (M-CNN), multi-instance learning convolutional neural network (MIL-CNN). For each technique, we provide Python codes, to allow interested readers to experiment with the cited algorithms on their own diagnostic problems. The third part of this manuscript compiles the successfully applied deep learning models for different types of cancers. Considering the length of the manuscript, we restrict ourselves to the discussion of breast cancer, lung cancer, brain cancer, and skin cancer. The purpose of this bibliographic review is to provide researchers opting to work in implementing deep learning and artificial neural networks for cancer diagnosis a knowledge from scratch of the state-of-the-art achievements
Nuclei & Glands Instance Segmentation in Histology Images: A Narrative Review
Instance segmentation of nuclei and glands in the histology images is an
important step in computational pathology workflow for cancer diagnosis,
treatment planning and survival analysis. With the advent of modern hardware,
the recent availability of large-scale quality public datasets and the
community organized grand challenges have seen a surge in automated methods
focusing on domain specific challenges, which is pivotal for technology
advancements and clinical translation. In this survey, 126 papers illustrating
the AI based methods for nuclei and glands instance segmentation published in
the last five years (2017-2022) are deeply analyzed, the limitations of current
approaches and the open challenges are discussed. Moreover, the potential
future research direction is presented and the contribution of state-of-the-art
methods is summarized. Further, a generalized summary of publicly available
datasets and a detailed insights on the grand challenges illustrating the top
performing methods specific to each challenge is also provided. Besides, we
intended to give the reader current state of existing research and pointers to
the future directions in developing methods that can be used in clinical
practice enabling improved diagnosis, grading, prognosis, and treatment
planning of cancer. To the best of our knowledge, no previous work has reviewed
the instance segmentation in histology images focusing towards this direction.Comment: 60 pages, 14 figure
LDCSF: Local depth convolution-based Swim framework for classifying multi-label histopathology images
Histopathological images are the gold standard for diagnosing liver cancer.
However, the accuracy of fully digital diagnosis in computational pathology
needs to be improved. In this paper, in order to solve the problem of
multi-label and low classification accuracy of histopathology images, we
propose a locally deep convolutional Swim framework (LDCSF) to classify
multi-label histopathology images. In order to be able to provide local field
of view diagnostic results, we propose the LDCSF model, which consists of a
Swin transformer module, a local depth convolution (LDC) module, a feature
reconstruction (FR) module, and a ResNet module. The Swin transformer module
reduces the amount of computation generated by the attention mechanism by
limiting the attention to each window. The LDC then reconstructs the attention
map and performs convolution operations in multiple channels, passing the
resulting feature map to the next layer. The FR module uses the corresponding
weight coefficient vectors obtained from the channels to dot product with the
original feature map vector matrix to generate representative feature maps.
Finally, the residual network undertakes the final classification task. As a
result, the classification accuracy of LDCSF for interstitial area, necrosis,
non-tumor and tumor reached 0.9460, 0.9960, 0.9808, 0.9847, respectively.
Finally, we use the results of multi-label pathological image classification to
calculate the tumor-to-stromal ratio, which lays the foundation for the
analysis of the microenvironment of liver cancer histopathological images.
Second, we released a multilabel histopathology image of liver cancer, our code
and data are available at https://github.com/panliangrui/LSF.Comment: Submitted to BIBM202
