Breast cancer has recently overtaken lung cancer to become the most common cancer globally, according to the World Health Organization. Advancing the fight against breast cancer, the BreastPathQ Challenge was launched at SPIE Medical Imaging 2019 to support the development of computer-aided diagnosis for assessing breast cancer pathology.
BreastPathQ Challenge participants were tasked with developing an automated method for analyzing microscopy images of breast tissue and ranking them according to their tumor cell content, to provide a reliable assessment score. As reported in SPIE’s Journal of Medical Imaging (JMI), the challenge produced encouraging results that indicate a path toward integrating artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline clinical assessment of breast cancer.
