Title
survival analysis
Summary
Currently, many approaches have been proposed to incorporate with patients’ imaging data for survival analysis. But a pathological image
is of high resolution which means the existing methods based on regular image size cannot directly learn discriminative patterns from WSIs.
To solve this problem, some pioneering works try to develop an end-to-end manner to predict survival on WSIs. As the wide application of transformer variants in the CV field, the effects of multiple tasks have been improved. Inspired by it, we want to develop a model to predict survival on WSIs based on transformer, in order to improve the effect of survival analysis and provide interpretability from the attention mechanism for clinical work.
Aims

Improve the current convolutional neural network for survival prediction with pathological images.
