骨转移分析是病理学中的重大挑战,对患者生活质量及治疗策略至关重要。微环境和特定组织结构对判断原发骨癌来源与亚型具有关键作用。通过将骨组织切片数字化为全幻灯片图像(WSIs)并利用深度学习建模切片嵌入,可提升分析能力。然而,肿瘤转移涉及与多种骨组织结构的复杂多变量交互,传统基于多重实例学习(MIL)的方法难以捕捉。此外,图神经网络(GNNs)仅能建模成对关系,难以表达高阶生物关联。为此,我们提出动态超图神经网络(DyHG),通过超边连接多个节点,突破传统图表示的边构建限制。采用低秩策略降低超图结构学习的参数复杂度,结合基于Gumbel-Softmax的采样策略优化块在超边间的分布。随后使用MIL聚合器生成全局图嵌入,实现全面的WSI分析。为评估性能,我们基于真实骨转移场景构建了两个大规模数据集,用于原发骨癌来源与亚型分类。大量实验表明,DyHG显著优于当前最优基线,展现出建模复杂生物交互的能力,并提升骨转移分析准确性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Bone metastasis analysis is a significant challenge in pathology and plays a critical role in determining patient quality of life and treatment strategies. The microenvironment and specific tissue structures are essential for pathologists to predict the primary bone cancer origins and primary bone cancer subtyping. By digitizing bone tissue sections into whole slide images (WSIs) and leveraging deep learning to model slide embeddings, this analysis can be enhanced. However, tumor metastasis involves complex multivariate interactions with diverse bone tissue structures, which traditional WSI analysis methods such as multiple instance learning (MIL) fail to capture. Moreover, graph neural networks (GNNs), limited to modeling pairwise relationships, are hard to represent high-order biological associations. To address these challenges, we propose a dynamic hypergraph neural network (DyHG) that overcomes the edge construction limitations of traditional graph representations by connecting multiple nodes via hyperedges. A low-rank strategy is used to reduce the complexity of parameters in learning hypergraph structures, while a Gumbel-Softmax-based sampling strategy optimizes the patch distribution across hyperedges. An MIL aggregator is then used to derive a graph-level embedding for comprehensive WSI analysis. To evaluate the effectiveness of DyHG, we construct two large-scale datasets for primary bone cancer origins and subtyping classification based on real-world bone metastasis scenarios. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DyHG significantly outperforms state-of-the-art (SOTA) baselines, showcasing its ability to model complex biological interactions and improve the accuracy of bone metastasis analysis.
