contents Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the top three malignant tumor types in terms of morbidity and mortality. Histopathological images are the gold standard for diagnosing colon cancer. Cellular nuclei instance segmentation and classification, and nuclear component regression tasks can aid in the analysis of the tumor microenvironment in colon tissue. Traditional methods are still unable to handle both types of tasks end-to-end at the same time, and have poor prediction accuracy and high application costs. This paper proposes a new UNet model for handling nuclei based on the UNet framework, called MGTUNet, which uses Mish, Group normalization and transposed convolution layer to improve the segmentation model, and a ranger optimizer to adjust the SmoothL1Loss values. Secondly, it uses different channels to segment and classify different types of nucleus, ultimately completing the nuclei instance segmentation and classification task, and the nuclei component regression task simultaneously. Finally, we did extensive comparison experiments using eight segmentation models. By comparing the three evaluation metrics and the parameter sizes of the models, MGTUNet obtained 0.6254 on PQ, 0.6359 on mPQ, and 0.8695 on R2. Thus, the experiments demonstrated that MGTUNet is now a state-of-the-art method for quantifying histopathological images of colon cancer.
