We propose a comprehensive end-to-end pipeline designed for the detection, subtyping, and grading of tumors. Our proposed method-ology initiates the generation of a heat map, indicating the severity of the tumor. Subsequently, the identification of the most critical patches is conducted based on the probability scores. These identified patches are then directed to a grade prediction network. A distinctive aspect of our research lies in being the first to explore an end-to-end pipeline for both heat map generation and grading prediction. Our experiments were conducted leveraging the public, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) repository, focusing specifically on renal cancer. We introduced additional patch-level labels to improve the model performance. The generation of tumor heat maps targeted three primary cancer subtypes: clear cell, papillary, and chromophobe. To enhance our approach, we implemented center-loss and introduced a method aimed at refining the quality of patches. The experimental outcomes highlight superior performance compared to state-of-the-art method. This research contributes to the advancement of tumor detection and grading, emphasizing the significance of an integrated approach for heat map generation and grading pre-diction.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
