Article Synopsis
  • Pathologists use whole slide images (WSIs) to diagnose cancer, but deep learning models can struggle with accuracy due to tumor heterogeneity, leading to possible misclassifications at the tile level.
  • The introduced NATMIL model enhances the classification of WSIs by incorporating contextual dependencies among image tiles, improving the accuracy of tumor diagnoses.
  • In tests on non-small cell lung cancer and lymph node tumors, NATMIL outperformed existing methods, achieving accuracy rates of 89.6% and 88.1%, showcasing its effectiveness in pathology.
