Digital Pathology as Precision Medicine
• Statistical analyses and machine learning to link Radiology/Pathology
features to “omics” and outcome biological phenomena
• Image analysis and deep learning methods to extract features from
images
• Support queries against ensembles of features extracted from multiple
datasets
• Identify and segment trillions of objects – nuclei, glands, ducts, nodules,
tumor niches
• Analysis of integrated spatially mapped structural/”omic” information to
gain insight into cancer mechanism and to choose best intervention

The future of Digital Pathology
Importance of Immune System in Cancer Treatment and Prognosis
• Tumor spatial context and cellular heterogeneity are important in cancer
prognosis
• Spatial TIL densities in different tumor regions have been shown to have
high prognostic value – they may be superior to the standard TNM
classification
• Immune related assays used to determine Checkpoint Inhibitor immune
therapy in several cancer types
• Strong relationships with molecular measures of tumor immune response
– results to soon appear in TCGA Pan Cancer Immune group publications
• TIL maps being computed for SEER Pathology studies and will be
routinely computed for data contributed to TCIA archive
• Ongoing study to relate TIL patterns with immune gene expression
groups and patient response
Training, Model Creation
• Algorithm first trained on image patches
• Several cooperating deep learning algorithms generate heat
maps
• Heat maps used to generate new predictions
• Companion molecular statistical data analysis pipelines
Training, threshold adjustment, quality control

TIL Pattern Descriptions
Qualitative (Alex Lazar, Raj Gupta)
• ‘‘Brisk, diffuse’’ diffusely infiltrative TILs
scattered throughout at least 30% of the
area of the tumor (1,856 cases);
• ‘‘Brisk, band-like’’ - band-like
boundaries bordering the tumor at its
periphery (1,185);
• ‘‘Nonbrisk, multi-focal’’ loosely
scattered TILs present in less
• than 30% but more than 5% of the area
of the tumor (1,083);
• ‘‘Non-brisk, focal’’ for TILs scattered
throughout less than 5% but greater than
1% of the area of the tumor (874);
• ‘‘None’’ < 1% TILS - in 143 cases
Quantitative – Arvind Rao
• Agglomerative clustering
• Cluster indices representing
cluster number, density, cluster
size, distance between clusters
• Traditional spatial statistics
measures

TCGA Pan Cancer Atlas – Immune Landscape of Cancer
• Six identified immune subtypes span
cancer tissue types and molecular
subtypes
• Immune subtypes differ by somatic
aberrations, microenvironment, and
survival
• Multiple control modalities of
molecular networks affect tumor-
immune interactions
• These analyses serve as a resource
for exploring immunogenicity across
cancer types

scale, integrative image analysis.
• Specific Aim 2: Database infrastructure to
manage and query Pathomics features.
• Specific Aim 3: HPC software that targets
clusters, cloud computing, and leadership
scale systems.
• Specific Aim 4: Develop visualization
middleware to relate Pathomics feature and
image data and to integrate Pathomics image
and “omic” data.
Methods and tools for integrating pathomics data into
cancer registries
Saltz, Sharma, Foran and Durban
• Enhance SEER registry data with machine learning based classifications
and quantitative pathomics feature sets.
• The New Jersey State Cancer Registry, Georgia and Kentucky State
Cancer Registries
• Prostate Cancer, Lymphoma and NSCLC
• Repository of high-quality digitized pathology images for subjects
whose data is being collected by the registries.
• Extract computational features and establish deep linkages with
registry data, thus enabling the creation of information-rich, population
cohorts containing objective imaging and clinical attributes
QuIP Segmentation Curation Web Application
1. User interactively marks up regions and selects
results from best analysis run for each region.
2. Selections are refined through review processes

Prior, Saltz, Sharma -- U24CA215109-01
• Identify quantitative imaging phenotypes across scale through the use of
Radiomic/Pathomic analyses
• Well-curated data for algorithm testing and validation.
• Integrative Radiology/Pathology Image-Omics studies

Tools to Analyze Morphology and Spatially Mapped Molecular Data - U24 CA180924 • Specific Aim 1 Analysis pipelines for multi- scale, integrative image analysis. • Specific Aim 2: Database infrastructure to manage and query Pathomics features. • Specific Aim 3: HPC software that targets clusters, cloud computing, and leadership scale systems. • Specific Aim 4: Develop visualization middleware to relate Pathomics feature and image data and to integrate Pathomics image and “omic” data.
  • 52. Methods and tools for integrating pathomics data into cancer registries Saltz, Sharma, Foran and Durban • Enhance SEER registry data with machine learning based classifications and quantitative pathomics feature sets. • The New Jersey State Cancer Registry, Georgia and Kentucky State Cancer Registries • Prostate Cancer, Lymphoma and NSCLC • Repository of high-quality digitized pathology images for subjects whose data is being collected by the registries. • Extract computational features and establish deep linkages with registry data, thus enabling the creation of information-rich, population cohorts containing objective imaging and clinical attributes
