Abstract

BACKGROUND: Bladder cancer (BLCA) exists a profound molecular diversity, with basal and luminal subtypes having different prognostic and therapeutic outcomes. Traditional methods for molecular subtyping are often time-consuming and resource-intensive. This study aims to develop machine learning models using deep learning features from hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained whole-slide images (WSIs) to predict basal and luminal subtypes in BLCA.
