• Abstract summary: This paper presents a deep learning (DL) classification pipeline for quantifying clinical information from digital core-needle biopsy (CNB) images. A dataset of 1058 patients was used to evaluate the performance of different baseline state-of-the-art (SOTA) DL models in classifying ALN metastatic status.

• Abstract: Breast cancer is a major concern for women's health globally, with axillary lymph node (ALN) metastasis identification being critical for prognosis evaluation and treatment guidance. This paper presents a deep learning (DL) classification pipeline for quantifying clinical information from digital core-needle biopsy (CNB) images, with one step less than existing methods. A publicly available dataset of 1058 patients was used to evaluate the performance of different baseline state-of-the-art (SOTA) DL models in classifying ALN metastatic status based on CNB images. An extensive ablation study of various data augmentation techniques was also conducted. Finally, the manual tumor segmentation and annotation step performed by the pathologists was assessed.

  Open-source clinical large language models (LLMs) can extract pathologic tumor-node-metastasis (pTNM) staging information from real-world pathology reports. Our findings suggest that while LLMs still exhibit subpar performance in Tumor (T) classification, with the appropriate adoption of prompting strategies, they can achieve comparable performance on Metastasis (M) and improved performance on Node (N) classification.

  We propose a deep learning approach to enhance abnormal chest x-ray (CXR) identification performance through segmentations. Our approach is designed in a cascaded manner and incorporates two modules: a deep neural network with criss-cross attention modules (XLSor) for localizing lung region in CXR images and a CXR classification model with a backbone of a self-supervised momentum contrast (MoCo) model pre-trained on large-scale CXR data sets.

  Extracapsular extension is a strong predictor of patients' survival outcomes with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Current clinical ECE detection relies on visual identification and pathologic confirmation conducted by radiologists. We propose a Gradient Mapping Guided Explainable Network (GMGENet) framework to perform ECE identification automatically without requiring annotated lymph node region information.
