Problem

Small clusters of cancer cells in lymph nodes are hard to spot on slides by eye.

Approach

The lab adopted QiAI Lymph Node Dx from Qritive, a deep-learning module that scans digital slides for metastasis and micrometastasis. It was tested on breast, colon, stomach and oesophageal cancer cases. The lab said it is the first in India to adopt the module.

Results

No published figures

Takeaway

The lab said immunohistochemistry later confirmed the extra findings. It gave no sensitivity, specificity or sample sizes.
