PathSeek-MAS — Multimodal WSI Features for HGSOC Platinum-Response Prediction
Derived per-slide features supporting the PathSeek-MAS study (npj Digital Medicine). The task is platinum response prediction in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) from H&E whole-slide images (WSIs), using a dual-agent model:
- Virtual Protein Agent — virtual multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF): 21 protein markers
predicted per patch by GigaTIME (
gigatime_csv/). - Morphology Agent — UNI foundation-model patch embeddings (
uni_pt/).
Cohorts (503 WSIs)
| Cohort | Slides | Sensitive (label 1) | Resistant (label 0) | WSI source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TCGA-OV | 156 | 117 | 39 | GDC |
| PTRC-HGSOC | 347 | 202 | 145 | Chowdhury et al. |
Label convention (both cohorts): label == 1 = Sensitive, label == 0 = Resistant.
Ground truth: TCGA PlatinumStatus (Zhang et al., mmc2.xlsx); PTRC Tumor response
(sensitive→1, refractory→0).

patch_name, slide_id, row, col, then 23 channels (21 protein markers + 2 staining channels):
DAPI, TRITC, Cy5, PD-1, CD14, CD4, T-bet, CD34, CD68, CD16, CD11c, CD138, CD20, CD3, CD8, PD-L1, CK, Ki67, Tryptase, Actin-D, Caspase3-D, PHH3-B, Transgelin.
row, col are the patch grid coordinates (used to place values spatially on the WSI). Note: DAPI and Cy5 are staining/imaging channels, not protein markers; the remaining 21 are antibody-targeted proteins.
uni_pt/*.pt
torch.load(...) returns a dict with features ([n_patches, 1024] float) and coords
([n_patches, 2] int patch coordinates).
Preprocessing used by the model
- Virtual-protein input: TCGA →
log1p, PTRC →logit, then per-patch row-standardization. - Both agents pool patches via gated attention; fused by a cross-modal gating head.
Not included
- Raw WSIs (~200 GB): TCGA-OV via the NCI GDC; PTRC-HGSOC via the original study. Not re-hosted.
- Original third-party clinical supplementary tables — please cite the source publications.
