Abstract

Background: Of all urothelial carcinomas (UCs), 25% are muscle invasive and associated with a 5-year overall survival rate of 50%. Findings regarding the molecular classification of muscle-invasive urothelial carcinomas (MIUCs) have not yet found their way into clinical practice. Objectives: Prediction of molecular consensus subtypes in MIUCs with artificial intelligence (AI) based on histologic hematoxylin-eosin (HE) sections. Methods: Pathologic review and annotation of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Bladder Cancer (BLCA) Cohort (N = 412) and the Dr. Senckenberg Institute of Pathology (SIP) BLCA Cohort (N = 181). An AI model for the prediction of molecular subtypes based on annotated histomorphology was trained. Results: For a five-fold cross-validation with TCGA cases (N = 274), an internal TCGA test set (N = 18) and an external SIP test set (N = 27), we reached mean area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) scores of 0.73, 0.8 and 0.75 for the classification of the used molecular subtypes “luminal”, “basal/squamous” and “stroma-rich”. By training on correlations to individual molecular subtypes, rather than training on one subtype assignment per case, the AI prediction of subtypes could be significantly improved. Discussion: Follow-up studies with RNA extraction from various areas of AI-predicted molecular heterogeneity may improve molecular classifications and thereby AI algorithms trained on these classifications.
