• Abstract: Deep learning has been shown to be useful to detect breast cancer metastases by analyzing whole slide images of sentinel lymph nodes. However, it requires extensive scanning and analysis of all the lymph nodes slides for each case. Our deep learning study focuses on breast cancer screening with only a small set of image patches from any sentinel lymph node, positive or negative for metastasis, to detect changes in tumor environment and not in the tumor itself. We design a convolutional neural network in the Python language to build a diagnostic model for this purpose. The excellent results from this preliminary study provided a proof of concept for incorporating automated metastatic screen into the digital pathology workflow to augment the pathologists' productivity. Our approach is unique since it provides a very rapid screen rather than an exhaustive search for tumor in all fields of all sentinel lymph nodes.

  Quantification of lymphoid aggregates is a promising approach for developing prognostic and predictive tissue biomarkers.

We recently developed a deep learning-based algorithm called HookNet-TLS to detect lymphoid aggregates and germinal centers in various tissues.

  Pathologists diagnose and grade prostate cancer by examining tissue from needle biopsies on glass slides. Cancer's severity and risk of metastasis are determined by the Gleason grade, a score based on the organization and morphology of prostate cancer glands. This paper proposes an automated workflow that follows pathologists' textitmodus operandi, isolating and classifying multi-scale patches of individual glands.

  The presence of enlarged and potentially malignant lymph nodes must be assessed to properly estimate disease progression and select the best treatment strategy. The use of 3D convolutional neural networks, either through slab-wise schemes or the leveraging of downsampled entire volumes, is investigated. For the 1178 lymph nodes with a short-axis diameter $geq10$ mm, our best performing approach reached a patient-wise recall of 92%, a false positive per patient ratio of 5, and a segmentation overlap of 80.5%.

  Deep learning methods for classification and detection have shown great potential, but often require large amounts of training data. For many cancer types, the scarceness of data creates barriers for training DL models. We show how it is possible to detect cancer metastasis with no or very little lymph node data, opening up for the possibility that existing, annotated histopathology data could generalize to other domains.
