Title
Hierarchical Graph Pathomic Network for Progression Free Survival Prediction
Abstract
High resolution histology images contain information related to disease prognosis. However, survival prediction based on current clinical grading systems, which rely heavily on a pathologist's histological assessment, has significant limitations due to the heterogeneity and complexity of tissue phenotypes. To address these challenges, we propose a deep learning framework that leverages hierarchical graph-based representations to enable more precise prediction of progression-free survival in prostate cancer patients. Unlike conventional approaches that analyze patch-based or cell-based pathomic features alone without considering their spatial connectivity, we explore multi-scale topological structures of whole slide images in an integrative context. Extensive experiments have demonstrated the effectiveness of our model for better progression prediction.
