Sumario: | Abstract Histopathologic evaluation of biopsy slides is a critical step in diagnosing and subtyping breast cancers. However, the connections between histology and multi-omics status have never been systematically explored or interpreted. We developed weakly supervised deep learning models over hematoxylin-and-eosin-stained slides to examine the relations between visual morphological signal, clinical subtyping, gene expression, and mutation status in breast cancer. We first designed fully automated models for tumor detection and pathology subtype classification, with the results validated in independent cohorts (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ≥ 0.950). Using only visual information, our models achieved strong predictive performance in estrogen/progesterone/HER2 receptor status, PAM50 status, and TP53 mutation status. We demonstrated that these models learned lymphocyte-specific morphological signals to identify estrogen receptor status. Examination of the PAM50 cohort revealed a subset of PAM50 genes whose expression reflects cancer morphology. This work demonstrates the utility of deep learning-based image models in both clinical and research regimes, through its ability to uncover connections between visual morphology and genetic statuses. |
