Abstract

OBJECTIVE: MYCN oncogene amplification is closely linked to high-grade neuroblastoma with poor prognosis. Accurate quantification is essential for risk assessment, which guides clinical decision making and disease management. This study proposes an end-to-end deep-learning framework for automatic tumor segmentation of pediatric neuroblastomas and radiomics features-based classification of MYCN gene amplification.
