- Growing evidence supports the importance of the immune microenvironment in the clinical course of breast cancer, where multiple studies have demonstrated positive prognostic utility of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes among triple-negative and HER2-positive breast cancers. Despite the abundance of studies investigating the immune microenvironment in breast cancer, biomarkers of immune response are lacking, particularly in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer, and Black women are underrepresented in these studies. This is important because Black women suffer higher incidence of poor-prognosis subtypes and worse stage-specific mortality. Given the rapidly evolving landscape of immunotherapies in breast cancer and ongoing efforts to expand currently limited treatment eligibility, investigations of the breast cancer immune microenvironment and identification of biomarkers that associate with immune-mediated survival in diverse patient populations, is an unmet clinical need. To address this knowledge gap, the current body of work leveraged three major breast cancer studies rich in molecular, histological, clinical and epidemiological data: 1) the Carolina Breast Cancer Study (CBCS; N= 1,952), a large population-based study designed to investigate racial disparities in breast cancer, 2) The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) breast cancer dataset (N= 1,095), a well-known study with multiple data platforms for each sample, and 3) the Molecular Taxonomy of Breast Cancer International Consortium (METABRIC) dataset (N= 1,904). Aim 1 of this study characterized global phenotypes of immune response using cell-type specific markers for 10 immune cell populations and evaluated associations with clinical and demographic variables, and recurrence. Aim 2 leveraged RNA expression profiling to investigate markers of genomic instability in association with breast cancer immunogenicity and immune-mediated patterns of recurrence. This work identified strong associations between phenotypes of immune response and tumor subtype, grade, patient age, BMI and self-reported race. In addition, RNA-based pathway assessment of genomic instability markers (HRD, APOBEC, and TP53 pathways) identified immunogenic tumors with strong adaptive immune responses that associated with recurrence-free survival regardless of ER status. Collectively, this work contributes novel findings about the breast cancer immune microenvironment that may aid in precision medicine approaches for breast cancer prevention and intervention, and highlights the importance of diversity in impactful and equitable clinical research.

Breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer in women. Histopathological imaging data can provide important information on cancer since it preserves the underlying tissue architecture in the preparation process. Accurate and automated classification of breast tissue into malignant or healthy from histological images can be used for the diagnosis of breast cancer. However, publicly available labeled histopathological datasets are limited in size and also biased. For such datasets, existing machine learning classifiers have shown limited success. The goal of the present work is to develop a classification technique using machine learning, which can overcome the challenge posed by small and biased datasets. This technique will reduce the inaccuracy of the image analysis, and quantify the uncertainty in their prediction.
The field of computer vision and neural networks are aimed at improving the accuracy of image analysis by various network architectures on algorithms. Plain feed-forward neural networks have been successfully used for pattern recognition, but their performance is good only when the data is sufficiently large. When the data size is limited, neural networks yield erroneous or overfitted results, since they don't take the uncertainty of the dataset into account. These feed-forward neural networks learn their weights as point estimates or a deterministic value. Whereas, a Bayesian neural network learns a probability distribution on the weights. The loss function used in Bayesian neural networks is known as a Variational Free Energy (VFE) or Evidence Lower Bound (ELBO) which is to be optimized. Since the Bayesian approach provides probability distributions on the weights of the neural networks, it is possible to calculate the variance of the predictive posterior probability distribution, which is the sum of aleatoric and the epistemic uncertainty. Uncertainty quantification, along with the point estimate, leads to a more informed decision, improved accuracy, and reduced overfitting. In critical applications, especially medical-imaging applications, uncertainty quantification can potentially reduce the unexpected and incorrect results due to the poor decisions. In this thesis, we have worked on the application of Bayesian neural networks on publicly available histopathological images for the detection of breast cancer and uncertainty quantification of the prediction. We have demonstrated that using the Bayesian CNN, the false-negative predictions can be reduced remarkably, by almost 22%. We have found that the predictions associated with higher epistemic uncertainties have features of both the classes. These findings should improve the state of the art machine learning-based biomedical imaging.

MS in Cancer Research
Search for solutions to one of medicine's greatest challenges with an innovative Cancer Research MS from UNMC.
Why Study Cancer Research?
Advancement in the detection and treatment of cancer continues to accelerate through ground-breaking research, yet cancer remains one of the most complex and challenging problems of biomedical research.
As a cancer researcher, you'll work to better understand the causes of cancer, improve the methods for diagnosis and improve treatment and prevention methods. The answers you find may save a life you know — or your own.
We're in an exciting new dawn in biomedical science where we will see many cures previously deemed impossible.
Why Study Cancer Research at UNMC?
Cancer research is a key area of research at UNMC. Researchers at UNMC are engaged in work that addresses the root causes of cancer, as well as the means of enhancing the detection and treatment. This research employs a wide range of animal and cellular model systems, includes both basic and translational research, and focuses heavily on the molecular basis of cancer. As a result, you'll receive broad-based training in all aspects of cancer biology and employ cutting-edge experimental approaches.
Our innovative program trains future scientists to approach cancer research knowledgeably and creatively and to enter careers in which they can make a significant contribution.
