• Abstract: Cancer detection and classification from gigapixel whole slide images of stained tissue specimens has recently experienced enormous progress in computational histopathology. The limitation of available pixel-wise annotated scans shifted the focus from tumor localization to global slide-level classification on the basis of (weakly-supervised) multiple-instance learning despite the clinical importance of local cancer detection. However, the worse performance of these techniques in comparison to fully supervised methods has limited their usage until now for diagnostic interventions in domains of life-threatening diseases such as cancer. In this work, we put the focus back on tumor localization in form of a patch-level classification task and take up the setting of so-called coarse annotations, which provide greater training supervision while remaining feasible from a clinical standpoint. To this end, we present a novel ensemble method that not only significantly improves the detection accuracy of metastasis on the open CAMELYON16 data set of sentinel lymph nodes of breast cancer patients, but also considerably increases its robustness against noise while training on coarse annotations. Our experiments show that better results can be achieved with our technique making it clinically feasible to use for cancer diagnosis and opening a new avenue for translational and clinical research.

  This study presents a novel approach to pancreatic tumor detection, employing weak supervision anomaly detection through denoising diffusion algorithms. The method enables seamless translation of images between diseased and healthy subjects, resulting in detailed anomaly maps without requiring complex training protocols and segmentation masks. Recognizing the low survival rates of pancreatic cancer, this study emphasizes the need for continued research to leverage diffusion models' efficiency in medical segmentation tasks.

  Surgery for gliomas (intrinsic brain tumors) is challenging due to the infiltrative nature of the lesion.
