Complete Region Annotation
Complete Region Annotation
Areas that lie inside Red Lines are cancerous regions and vice versa
Minimal Point Based Annotation
Minimal Point Based Annotation
The Red Point represents the marked position in the cancerous region
The Green Point stands for the non-cancerous region
The RCC dataset is derived from the TCGA database and contains three TCGA projects (i.e., KIRC, KIRP, KICH) and totally has 667 WSIs.
The LU dataset is derived from the TCGA database and contains two TCGA projects (i.e., LUAD, LUSC) and totally has 890 WSIs.
The BR dataset is derived from the TCGA database and contains two TCGA projects (i.e., BRDC, BRLC) and totally has 1000 WSIs.
These WSIs are scanned at 40x magnification and selected by experienced pathologists.
In each WSI, we have two annotation methods: Minimal Point-Based (Min-Point) annotation and Complete Region annotation.
The dataset provided here is for research purposes only. Commercial uses are not allowed.
If you intend to publish a research work that uses any of these datasets, you must cite our publication.
Minimal Point-Based Annotation Rules
Minimal Point-Based Annotation Rules
Equally mark points on both cancerous and non-cancerous regions. We set this number.
Evenly distribute the points within the whole image.
Do not mark points on the blank, edge, badly stained, damaged (man-made), and other abnormal areas.

Annotation Time
Reduce the annotation time to roughly one-twentieth when compared to the complete annotation.

Three large cancer classification datasets with two types of annotation, the test set is composed of two parts, i.e., patch-level test set for cancer region detection, WSI-level test set for subtyping

Data Format
Data Format
These three datasets are composed of two parts:
Complete Region Annotation: are saved as PNG files, the region marked by white/red/green is the cancer region, and marked by blue is the abandoned region, which also can be regarded as background.
The PNG file name is the UUIDof each WSI. Match the original TCGA name by "slide_list.txt".
The size of each annotation mask is equal to level 3 of the corresponding WSI.
Min-Point Annotation: is saved as a TXT file with four columns (i.e., wsi, x, y, and label), indicating the TCGA name of WSI, the x and y coordinates of each point, and the label of each point.
For the label, 0 and 1 represent the "cancer" and "normal" class, respectively.
The x and y coordinates of each point belong to level 0 of the corresponding WSI.
Note that, Only annotation data is available here, the original WSIs (SVS file) need to be downloaded from the TCGA portal. The labeled and unlabeled image patches need to be cropped from the original WSIs based on the annotation data.
