Statistical shape model for manifold regularization: Gleason grading of prostate histology

Statistical shape model for manifold regularization: Gleason grading of prostate histology

Gleason patterns of prostate cancer histopathology, characterized primarily by morphological and architectural attributes of histological structures (glands and nuclei), have been found to be highly correlated with disease aggressiveness and patient outcome. Gleason patterns 4 and 5 are highly correlated with more aggressive disease and poorer patient outcome, while Gleason patterns 1-3 tend to...

Gleason Grading of Prostate Histology Utilizing Manifold Regularization via Statistical Shape Model of Manifolds

Gleason patterns of prostate cancer histopathology, characterized primarily by morphological and architectural attributes of histological structures (glands and nuclei), have been found to be highly correlated with disease aggressiveness and patient outcome. Gleason patterns 4 and 5 are highly correlated with more aggressive disease and poorer patient outcome, while Gleason patterns 1-3 tend to...

Gleason grading of prostate cancer. Contemporary approach.

Automated Prostate Cancer Diagnosis and Gleason Grading of Tissue Microarrays

We present the results on the development of an automated system for prostate cancer diagnosis and Gleason grading. Images of representative areas of the original Hematoxylin-and-Eosin (H&E)-stained tissue retrieved from each patient, either from a tissue microarray (TMA) core or whole section, were captured and analyzed. The image sets consisted of 367 and 268 color images for the diagnosis an...

Interobserver variability in Gleason histological grading of prostate cancer.

OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to evaluate the reproducibility of the Gleason grading system and to compare its interobserver variability with the novel Gleason grade grouping proposal using a large sample volume. MATERIALS AND METHODS In total, 407 pathology slides of prostate needle biopsies from 34 consecutive patients with prostate cancer were re-evaluated. The International Societ...
