用H&E切片生成IHC图像，低成本实现乳腺癌精准分型

The overexpression of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in breast cells is a key driver of HER2-positive breast cancer, a highly aggressive subtype requiring precise diagnosis and targeted therapy. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is the standard technique for HER2 assessment but is costly, labor-intensive, and highly dependent on antibody selection. In contrast, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, a routine histopathological procedure, offers broader accessibility but lacks HER2 specificity. This study proposes an advanced deep learning-based image translation framework to generate high-fidelity IHC images from H&E-stained tissue samples, enabling cost-effective and scalable HER2 assessment. By modifying the loss function of pyramid pix2pix, we mitigate mode collapse, a fundamental limitation in generative adversarial networks (GANs), and introduce a novel variance-based penalty that enforces structural diversity in generated images. Our model particularly excels in translating HER2-positive (IHC 3+) images, which have remained challenging for existing methods. Quantitative evaluations on the overall BCI dataset reveal that our approach outperforms baseline models, achieving a peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of 22.16, a structural similarity index (SSIM) of 0.47, and a Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) of 346.37. In comparison, the pyramid pix2pix baseline attained PSNR 21.15, SSIM 0.43, and FID 516.75, while the standard pix2pix model yielded PSNR 20.74, SSIM 0.44, and FID 472.6. These results affirm the superior fidelity and realism of our generated IHC images. Beyond medical imaging, our model exhibits superior performance in general image-to-image translation tasks, showcasing its potential across multiple domains. This work marks a significant step toward AI-driven precision oncology, offering a reliable and efficient alternative to traditional HER2 diagnostics.
