What is DeepCox-SC?

A fully automated Deep convolutional network for survival prediction using the Cox Proportional-Hazard model directly from histopathological images in Stomach Cancer (DeepCox-SC). The DeepCox-SC model automatedly selects patches with more information for survival prediction. The MultiDeepCox-SC multi-modal fusion model further integrated DeepCox-SC risk score, clinical data (age), and gene expression data to improve survival prediction. The DeepCox-SC model could be utilized as a computer-assisted tool to improve pathologists' efficiency and accuracy.

How to use DeepCox-SC?

This Computer-assisted tool aims to provide a simply and user-friendly usage environment. The user only needs to input the url of whole slide image (WSI). DeepCox-SC online tool automatically selected patches with the largest frequency of nuclei. DeepCox-SC finally outputs predicting patients' risk of death (DeepCox-SC risk score). DeepCox-SC multi-modal fusion model further integrated DeepCox-SC risk score, age, and gene expression data to improve survival prediction. Age and gene expression data are optional.

1.Upload

Input the url of WSI.
Age and gene expression data are optional.

2.Analyzing

DeepCox-SC automatedly analyze uploaded data (WSI, age, gene expression).

3.Results

DeepCox-SC outputs the predicted patients' risk of death (DeepCox-SC risk score).
DeepCox-SC multi-modal fusion model further integrates DeepCox-SC risk score, age, and gene expression data and outputs the risk score

Examples of DeepCox-SC Online Analysis

Patients Whole slide image (WSI) The patch with more information for survival prediction DeepCox-SC risk score of WSI
TCGA-BR-A452 DeepCox-SC risk score: 4.78.
Group: High-risk group. Grey line is the median of risk scores
of stomach cancer patients in TCGA dataset
Red line is the risk score
of your input histopathological image
