ABSTRACT
Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) is one of the most important prognostic factors in gastric cancer as it indicates a higher likelihood of lymph node metastasis and poorer overall outcome for the patient. Despite its importance, the detection of LVI(+) in histopathology specimens of gastric cancer can be a challenging task for pathologists as invasion can be subtle and difficult to discern. Herein, we propose a deep learning-based LVI(+) detection method using H&E-stained whole-slide images. The ConViT model showed the best performance in terms of both AUROC and AURPC among the classification models (AUROC 0.9796; AUPRC 0.9648). The AUROC and AUPRC of YOLOX computed based on the augmented patch-level confidence score were slightly lower (AUROC -0.0094; AUPRC -0.0225) than those of the ConViT classification model. With weighted averaging of the patch-level confidence scores, the ensemble model exhibited the best AUROC, AUPRC, and F1 scores of 0.9880, 0.9769, and 0.9280, respectively. The proposed model is expected to contribute to precision medicine by potentially saving examination-related time and labor and reducing disagreements among pathologists.
