| # ♆ Patho-Bench |
| [📄 Preprint](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2502.06750) | [Code](https://github.com/mahmoodlab/Patho-Bench) |
|
|

|
|
| **Patho-Bench is designed to evaluate patch and slide encoder foundation models for whole-slide images (WSIs).** |
|
|
| This HuggingFace repository contains the data splits for the public Patho-Bench tasks. Please visit our codebase on [GitHub](https://github.com/mahmoodlab/Patho-Bench) for the full codebase and benchmark implementation. |
|
|
| This project was developed by the [Mahmood Lab](https://faisal.ai/) at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital. This work was funded by NIH NIGMS R35GM138216. |
|
|
| > [!NOTE] |
| > Contributions are welcome! If you'd like to submit a new dataset and/or task for inclusion in Patho-Bench, please reach out to us via the [Issues](https://github.com/mahmoodlab/Patho-Bench/issues) tab of our Github repo. |
|
|
| Currently, Patho-Bench contains the following task families. We will add more tasks in the future. For further details on each task, please refer to the [THREADS foundation model paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.16652). |
|
|
| | **Family** | **Description** | **Tasks** | |
| |--------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------| |
| | **Morphological Subtyping** | Classifying distinct morphological patterns associated with different disease subtypes | 11 | |
| | **TME Characterization** | Predicting morphological features from the tissue microenvironment (e.g., vascular invasion, necrosis, immune response) | 16 | |
| | **Tumor Grading** | Assigning a grade based on cellular differentiation and growth patterns | 9 | |
| | **Molecular Subtyping** | Predicting antigen presence (e.g., via IHC staining) | 6 | |
| | **Mutation Prediction** | Predicting specific genetic mutations in tumors | 34 | |
| | **Treatment Response & Assessment** | Evaluating patient response to treatment | 7 | |
| | **Survival Prediction** | Predicting survival outcomes and risk stratification | 12 | |
| | **Total** | | **95** | |
|
|
| ## 🔥 Latest updates |
| - **April 2025**: Patho-Bench has been updated with 53 new tasks! Now Patho-Bench contains a total of 95 public tasks across 33 datasets. |
| - **February 2025**: Patho-Bench is now available on HuggingFace. |
|
|
| ## ⚡ Installation |
| Install the required packages: |
| ``` |
| pip install --upgrade datasets |
| pip install --upgrade huggingface_hub |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## 🔑 Authentication |
|
|
| ```python |
| from huggingface_hub import login |
| login(token="YOUR_HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN") |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## ⬇️ Usage |
|
|
| The Patho-Bench data splits are designed for use with the Patho-Bench [software package](https://github.com/mahmoodlab/Patho-Bench). However, you are welcome to use the data splits in your custom pipeline. Each task is associated with a YAML file containing task metadata and a TSV file containing the sample IDs, slide IDs, and labels. |
|
|
| > [!NOTE] |
| > Patho-Bench only provides the data splits and labels, NOT the raw image data. You will need to download the raw image data from the respective dataset repositories (see links below). |
|
|
| ### Download an individual task |
| ```python |
| import datasets |
| dataset='cptac_coad' |
| task='KRAS_mutation' |
| datasets.load_dataset( |
| 'MahmoodLab/Patho-Bench', |
| cache_dir='/path/to/saveto', |
| dataset_to_download=dataset, # Throws error if source not found |
| task_in_dataset=task, # Throws error if task not found in dataset |
| trust_remote_code=True |
| ) |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### Download all tasks from a dataset |
| ```python |
| import datasets |
| dataset='cptac_coad' |
| task='*' |
| datasets.load_dataset( |
| 'MahmoodLab/Patho-Bench', |
| cache_dir='/path/to/saveto', |
| dataset_to_download=dataset, |
| task_in_dataset=task, |
| trust_remote_code=True |
| ) |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### Download entire Patho-Bench [4.2 MB] |
