Changing Histopathological Diagnostics by Genome-Based Tumor Classification

Changing Histopathological Diagnostics by Genome-Based Tumor Classification

Traditionally, tumors are classified by histopathological criteria, i.e., based on their specific morphological appearances. Consequently, current therapeutic decisions in oncology are strongly influenced by histology rather than underlying molecular or genomic aberrations. The increase of information on molecular changes however, enabled by the Human Genome Project and the International Cancer...

Companion diagnostics: changing patient management

At the European Multidisciplinary Cancer Congress (EMCC), held in Stockholm in September 2011, a recurring theme in many of the workshops was personalised medicine, including the latest developments in prognostic and predictive biomarkers. Such markers, it is hoped, will enable clinicians to use available resources to best effects-by offering treatments to only those patients most likely to ben...

Wavelet based texture classification of oral histopathological sections

In modern medical science, quantitative microscopy has been attracted the researchers for better understanding, visualization and evaluation of the biological samples, especially in the context of oral histopathological evaluation. The conventional light microscopy is, of course, a routine diagnostic method till date where lot of subjectivity is involved in terms of stain intensity, interand in...

Parasite Diagnostics, an Ever-Changing World

Histopathological classification of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

This article reviews all related research and reports on nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) histopathological classifications worldwide. Despite continuous advance of Chinese and international NPC histopathological classification research, it was difficult to unify previous with current China classifications, and the China with World Health Organization (WHO) classifications. For example, non-keratini...
