Abstract

Based over the historical data statistics of about past 50 years from National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, the survival rate of patients affected with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is about 65%. Neoplastic lymphomas accelerated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (aCLL) and Richter Transformation - Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (RT-DLBL) are the aggressive and rare variant of this cancer that are subjected to less survival rate in patients and becomes worse with age of the patients. In this study, we developed a framework based over Graph Theory, Gaussian Mixture Modeling and Fuzzy C-mean Clustering, for learning the cell characteristics in neoplastic lymphomas along with quantitative analysis of pathological facts observed with integration of Image and Nuclei level analysis. On H &E slides of 60 hematolymphoid neoplasms, we evaluated the proposed algorithm and compared it to four cell level graph-based algorithms, including the global cell graph, cluster cell graph, hierarchical graph modeling and FLocK. The proposed method achieves better performance than the existing algorithms with mean diagnosis accuracy of 0.70833.
