Improving Melanoma Classification by Integrating Genetic and Morphologic Features
BACKGROUND In melanoma, morphology-based classification systems have not been able to provide relevant information for selecting treatments for patients whose tumors have metastasized. The recent identification of causative genetic alterations has revealed mutations in signaling pathways that offer targets for therapy. Identifying morphologic surrogates that can identify patients whose tumors e...
متن کاملAnorectal malignant melanoma: morphologic and immunohistochemical features.
We reviewed 17 cases of primary anorectal malignant melanoma. Morphologic features evaluated included junctional change, pigmentation, morphology, and mitotic rate. Immunohistochemical stains were performed for/with S-100 protein, HMB-45, MelanA, tyrosinase, vimentin, KIT, and pankeratin. Morphologic subtypes were as follows: epithelioid, 12 cases; spindle cell, 7 cases; lymphoma-like, 10 cases...
متن کاملComparison of Melanoma Subtypes among Korean Patients by Morphologic Features and Ultraviolet Exposure
BACKGROUND Genetic alterations have been identified in melanomas according to different levels of sun exposure. Whereas the conventional morphology-based classification provides a clue for tumor growth and prognosis, the new classification by genetic alterations offers a basis for targeted therapy. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the biological behavior of melanoma subty...
متن کاملImproving Text Classification by Using Conceptual and Contextual Features
The exponential growth of text available on the Internet has created a critical need for accurate, fast, and generalpurpose text classification algorithms. This paper examines the improvement of broadly based text classification by using features that are easily extracted from training documents. These features represent both the conceptual and contextual properties of a target class, and inclu...
متن کاملHyperspectral Images Classification by Combination of Spatial Features Based on Local Surface Fitting and Spectral Features
Hyperspectral sensors are important tools in monitoring the phenomena of the Earth due to the acquisition of a large number of spectral bands. Hyperspectral image classification is one of the most important fields of hyperspectral data processing, and so far there have been many attempts to increase its accuracy. Spatial features are important due to their ability to increase classification acc...
