Introduction

This H&E testicular cancer classifier was developed using transfer learning on a histology optimized version of the VGG19 CNN (DOI: 10.1038/s42256-019-0068-6) and trained to recognize testicular cancer and other surrounding tissue elements.

Annotations were carried out on batches of image tiles (dimensions: 512 x 512 px) grouped using image-based clustering (HAVOC, DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adg1894) from 10 local H&E-stained whole slide images. Validation testing was carried out on non-overlapping image tiles from the same cases.
