Hierarchical ResNeXt Models for Breast Cancer Histology Image Classification [PDF]
Microscopic histology image analysis is a cornerstone in early detection of breast cancer. However these images are very large and manual analysis is error prone and very time consuming. Thus automating this process is in high demand. We proposed a hierarchical system of convolutional neural networks (CNN) that classifies automatically patches of these

Programmed death ligand 1 expression levels, clinicopathologic features, and survival in surgically resected sarcomatoid lung carcinoma [PDF]
Aim: To determine the programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression rates in sarcomatoid lung carcinomas and to compare clinicopathologic features and survival rates of PD-L1-positive and negative patients. Methods: PD-L1 expression was evaluated in 65 surgically resected sarcomatoid carcinomas.

Contralateral prophylactic mastectomies. Correlations between primary tumor and histological findings of controlateral breast [PDF]
Backgound: In Italy in 2015 48,000 new cases of breast carcinomas were diagnosed. Women who are diagnosed with breast cancer have a significant risk of developing contralateral breast cancer during the rest of their lives and this risk is closely ...

Deep Learning-Based Grading of Ductal Carcinoma In Situ in Breast Histopathology Images [PDF]
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a non-invasive breast cancer that can progress into invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). Studies suggest DCIS is often overtreated since a considerable part of DCIS lesions may never progress into IDC. Lower grade lesions have a lower progression speed and risk, possibly allowing treatment de-escalation.

A Case Report: Lobular Carcinoma In Situ in a Male Patient with Subsequent Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Identified on Screening Breast MRI [PDF]
Lobular carcinoma in situ is a form of in situ neoplasia that develops within the terminal lobules of the breast. It is an extremely rare finding in males due to the lack of lobular development in the male breast.
