System and method for tumor characterization

Abstract

A method of treating a subject comprises administering a treatment to a subject identified as having a high probability of distant metastatic recurrence, wherein the probability of distant metastatic recurrence was determined by a process, comprising acquiring at least one image of a tissue sample comprising a plurality of cells, taken from a subject, classifying each of the plurality of cells into categories, dividing the at least one image into a plurality of patches, calculating values for a plurality of morphological features based on the patches, and calculating a distant metastatic recurrence probability based on the values. A computer-implemented method of training a neural network and a system for characterizing a cancer in a subject are also described.
