The impact of digital pathology on immuno-oncology

Immuno-oncology (IO) relies on harnessing our own immune systems in order to develop personalized therapies and medications for cancer. For this, a deep understanding of the immune system as well as its role in the regulation of the tumor microenvironment (TME) is pivotal. 

Leiden University Medical Center case study: AI-driven PD-L1 scoring in lung cancer

Describe your project with Aiforia. Liesbeth: We created an AI model, a deep learning algorithm, for PD-L1 scoring in NSCLC histology earlier and are now aiming to validate this AI model in other laboratory workups as well, including different antibodies and scanners. We will describe the steps that are needed for adapting an existing AI model to a new, local laboratory workup (domain ...
