Title
Predicting lung cancer prognosis with deep learning

Summary
In this project, we aim at designing a computer model based on deep learning able to automatically predict the prognosis of lung cancer patients. NLST histopathology images and NLST chest CT images will be used to train the computer model by combining information extracted from nodule growth and appearance, assessed in chest CT images, and from tissue architecture, analyzed in histopathology slides.

Aims

The automatic assessment of prognosis based on both nodule temporal evolution and tissue architecture in HE-stained histopathology slides.
