Most-cited papers in Diagnostic Pathology

Different approaches for interpretation and reporting of immunohistochemistry analysis results in the bone tissue – a review

Nickolay Fedchenko, Janin Reifenrath · 28 Nov 2014

BACKGROUND: Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a well-established, widely accepted method in both clinical and experimental parts of medical science. It allows receiving valuable information about any process in any tissue, and especially in bone. Each year the amount of data, received by IHC, grows in geometric progression. But the lack of standardization, especially on the post-analytical…

Quantitative comparison of immunohistochemical staining measured by digital image analysis versus pathologist visual scoring

Anthony E. Rizzardi, Arthur T. Johnson, Rachel I. Vogel et al. · 19 Apr 2012

Immunohistochemical (IHC) assays performed on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections traditionally have been semi-quantified by pathologist visual scoring of staining. IHC is useful for validating biomarkers discovered through genomics methods as large clinical repositories of FFPE specimens support the construction of tissue microarrays (TMAs) for high throughput studies. Due to the ubiquitous availability of IHC…

Artificial intelligence in diagnostic pathology

Saba Shafi, Anil V. Parwani · 3 Oct 2023

Digital pathology (DP) is being increasingly employed in cancer diagnostics, providing additional tools for faster, higher-quality, accurate diagnosis. The practice of diagnostic pathology has gone through a staggering transformation wherein new tools such as digital imaging, advanced artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, and computer-aided diagnostic techniques are being used for assisting, augmenting and empowering the computational…

Artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine, current applications and future role with special emphasis on its potential and promise in pathology: present and future impact, obstacles including costs and acceptance among pathologists, practical and philosophical considerations. A comprehensive review

Zubair Ahmad, Shabina Rahim, Maha Zubair et al. · 17 Mar 2021

BACKGROUND: The role of Artificial intelligence (AI) which is defined as the ability of computers to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence is constantly expanding. Medicine was slow to embrace AI. However, the role of AI in medicine is rapidly expanding and promises to revolutionize patient care in the coming years. In addition, it…

Grading of prostatic adenocarcinoma: current state and prognostic implications

Jennifer Gordetsky, Jonathan I. Epstein · 9 Mar 2016

BACKGROUND: Despite significant changes in the clinical and histologic diagnosis of prostate cancer, the Gleason grading system remains one of the most powerful prognostic predictors in prostate cancer. The correct diagnosis and grading of prostate cancer is crucial for a patient's prognosis and therapeutic options. However, this system has undergone significant revisions and continues to…
