Adenocarcinoma is the most common cancer, the pathological diagnosis for it is of great significance. Specifically, the degree of gland differentiation is vital for defining the grade of adenocarcinoma. Following this domain knowledge, we encode glandular regions as prior information in convolutional neural network (CNN), guiding the network\u0027s preference for glands when inferring. In this work, we propose a prior-aware CNN framework with multi-task learning for pathological colon images analysis, which contains gland segmentation and grading classification branches simultaneously. The segmentation\u0027s probability map also acts as the spatial attention for grading, emphasizing the glandular tissue and removing noise of irrelevant parts. Experiments reveal that the proposed framework achieves accuracy of 97.04% and AUC of 0.9971 on grading. Meanwhile, our model can predict gland regions with mIoU of 0.8134. Importantly, it is based on the clinical-pathological diagnostic criteria of adenocarcinoma, which makes our model more interpretable. |
