Histopathology & Cytopathology

Digital pathology

This histological-based assessment revealed that lymphocytes that are infiltrating tumors as a substitute for responses linked to host immunity are being shown to be predictive and possibly chemopredictive in triple-negative and HER2-positive breast cancers. However, the cooperation of the mentioned lymphocytes, mediators, tumor cells, micro environmental characteristics, their number and associations are still to be explored. It is envisaged that a tool called digital pathology will be used to assess these targeted resources and chemotherapeutic reactions in the patient. Based on digital pathology, an image analysis algorithm is being developed to recognize lymphocytes, stromal and neoplastic cells, in addition to obtaining an image of the slides stained with H&E.
