Definiens enjoyed interesting disucssions during the WIN Symposium in personalized cancer medicine last week in Paris. There’s clearly interesting steps towards targeted therapies – and especially promising advances with respect to genomic methods have been discussed. However, the full potential of tissue samples for personalized treatment remains largely untapped. Have a look at the Definiens poster for an example of what will become possible by integrating automated image analysis of tissue samples with data mining!

Introduction
Since adenocarcinoma of the oesophagogastric junction is known to show human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression we investigated the potential of IHC stained cancer tissue to provide information about disease free (DFS) and overall survival (OS) times. We compare the prognostic value of a visually assessed scoring algorithm derived from Dako HercepTest™ with results provided by data mining information from quantitative image analysis. Read More…
