Diagnosis of cancer is typically performed by medical pathologist visually inspecting hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained whole slide images. Although the early detection of various cancer types is crucial for a successful treatment, it is a challenging work due to inter- and intra-personal variability and it may often result in a disagreement between pathologists. Visual inspection of medical specimen is a well- established method for cancer diagnosis, but digital transformation is now inevitable fact, whereby conventional microscopic examinations with bareeyes have been replaced by artificial learning (AI)- based digital pathology applications in last years. For this reason, AI-driven solutions are now helping to operate on biospecimen images mostly to assist pathologists. Moreover, deep learning-based diagnosis systems have showed a potential for reducing the cost and improving the accuracy. In this work, we aimed to develop a automated pipeline for colorectal cancer diagnoses by applying Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based models to classify whole slide images in two classes, carcinoma and non-carcinoma. We included several previously developed deep learning classifiers in our pipeline, where a data set with more than 300 annotated and accessible whole-slide images for colorectal cancer will be used to evaluate model performances.

Automated cancer stem cell recognition in H&E stained tissue using convolutional neural networks and color deconvolution Aichinger, Wolfgang; Krappe, Sebastian; ÇETİN, AHMET ENİS; Atalay, Rengül; ÜNER, AYŞEGÜL; Benz, Michaela; Wittenberg, Thomas; Stamminger, Marc; Muenzenmayer, Christian (2017-02-13) The analysis and interpretation of histopathological samples and images is an important discipline in the diagnosis of various diseases, especially cancer. An important factor in prognosis and treatment with the aim of a precision medicine is the determination of so-called cancer stem cells (CSC) which are known for their resistance to chemotherapeutic treatment and involvement in tumor recurrence. Using immunohistochemistry with CSC markers like CD13, CD133 and others is one way to identify CSC. In our wor...
AUTOMATIC SEGMENTATION OF NUCLEI IN HISTOPATHOLOGY IMAGES USING ENCODING-DECODING CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORKS Mercadier, Deniz Sayin; Beşbınar, Beril; Frossard, Pascal (2019-01-01) Accurate and fast segmentation of nuclei in histopathological images plays a crucial role in cancer research for detection and grading, as well as personal treatment. Despite the important efforts, current algorithms are still suboptimal in terms of speed, adaptivity and generalizability. Popular Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) have recently been utilized for nuclei segmentation, outperforming traditional approaches that exploit color and texture features in combination with shallow classifiers o...
Overexpressed genes/ESTs and characterization of distinct amplicons on 17q23 in breast cancer cells Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif; DEMERS, SK; ROUILLARD, JM; HANASH, SM; PETTY, EM (Elsevier BV, 2001-11-01) 17q23 is a frequent site of gene amplification in breast cancer. Several lines of evidence suggest the presence of multiple amplicons on 17q23. To characterize distinct amplicons on 17q23 and localize putative oncogenes, we screened genes and expressed sequence tags (ESTs) in existing physical and radiation hybrid maps for amplification and overexpression in breast cancer cell lines by semiquantitative duplex PCR, semiquantitative duplex RT-PCR, Southern blot, and Northern blot analyses. We identified two d...
Multiplication free neural network for cancer stem cell detection in H&E stained liver images Badawi, Diaa; Akhan, Ece; Mallah, Ma'en; ÜNER, AYŞEGÜL; Atalay, Rengül; Cetin, A. Enis (2017-04-13) Markers such as CD13 and CD133 have been used to identify Cancer Stem Cells (CSC) in various tissue images. It is highly likely that CSC nuclei appear as brown in CD13 stained liver tissue images. We observe that there is a high correlation between the ratio of brown to blue colored nuclei in CD13 images and the ratio between the dark blue to blue colored nuclei in H&E stained liver images. Therefore, we recommend that a pathologist observing many dark blue nuclei in an H&E stained tissue image may also ord...
Multidrug resistance in locally advanced breast cancer Atalay, Can; Gurhan, Ismet Deliloglu; Irkkan, Cigdem; Gündüz, Ufuk (2006-01-01) Background: Advanced breast cancer cases can still be encountered resulting in poor prognosis. The primary treatment for these patients is chemotherapy, and multidrug resistance (MDR) is a serious obstacle in the treatment. Detecting drug resistance before first-line chemotherapy may increase the patient's survival. In this study, the role of MDR is evaluated in locally advanced breast cancer patients. Methods: Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction was used for the detection of MDR genes, ABCB1 an...
