Cancer Metastasis Detection Through Multiple Spatial Context Network

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death by cancer in women, and it often requires accurate detection of metastasis in lymph nodes through Whole-slide Images (WSIs). At present, there are many algorithms of cancer metastasis detection based on CNN, which are generally patch-level models, aiming for increasing the sensitivity, speed, and consistency of metastasis detection. However, most of these algorithms use patch as an independent individual to train, which leads to the neglect of much important spatial context information in WSI
