AI Helps Classify Lung Cancer at the Pathologist Level

To help with diagnosis, researchers from Dartmouth’s Norris Cotton Cancer Center and the Hassanpour Lab at Dartmouth University developed a deep learning-based system for automated classification of histologic subtypes on lung adenocarcinoma surgical resection slides on par with pathologists. “Our model can potentially be used to aid pathologists in the classification of these histologic patterns and ultimately contribute to more accurate grading of lung adenocarcinoma,” the team said. The work was recently published in Nature, Scientific Reports in a paper titled Pathologist-level Classification of Histologic Patterns on Resected Lung Adenocarcinoma Slides with Deep Neural Networks.
