A deep multiple instance learning framework improves microsatellite instability detection from tumor next generation sequencing

Abstract excerpt

Microsatellite instability (MSI) is a critical phenotype of cancer genomes and an FDA-recognized biomarker that can guide treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Previous work has demonstrated that next-generation sequencing data can be used to identify samples with MSI-high phenotype. However, low tumor purity, as frequently observed in routine clinical samples, poses a challenge to the sensitivity of...
