Five abstracts in prostate and breast cancers, Deep Bio’s main research areas, are presented during the online sessions.

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA (PRWEB) APRIL 11, 2022 – Deep Bio, a pioneer in medical AI for pathologic cancer diagnostics, presented five abstracts in regards to cancer diagnosis and prognosis of multiple cancer types using deep learning-based algorithms at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) 2022 which took place both in-person and virtually in New Orleans.

These studies showed notable findings when the algorithms were used for prognosis, including recurrence risk prediction and survival analysis. Particularly, a study that aimed to find out the relationship between histomorphological features of adenocarcinoma lesions and patients’ survival using a deep learning model was highlighted, drawing attendees’ attention. In the study, the deep learning-based pancreatic adenocarcinoma survival model discovered that histomorphological features show correlations with patient survival. Also, the study brought into light the possibility of applying the survival analysis to other diseases such as rectum adenocarcinoma and breast adenocarcinoma. In another study, Deep Bio’s breast cancer survival analysis model was able to distinguish between the low-risk group and the high-risk group to some extent, suggesting it can be used as a screening tool prior to the 21-gene test which classifies patients in early-stage breast cancer for whom chemotherapy can be effective.

Deep Bio also shared meaningful study results in prostate cancer, its core research area. In the study, researchers sought to detect cancerous regions and grade their severity on a whole slide image (WSI) of prostate frozen sections with deep learning-based cancer diagnosis support software. The model demonstrated high performance, achieving 98%in sensitivity for detecting malignant cases and 99% sensitivity for detecting clinically significant risk cases*.

Tae-Yeong Kwak, the CTO of Deep Bio, said, “Prognosis analysis of cancer is crucial in that it directly affects patients’ treatment and care plans. The studies presented imply that deep learning algorithms can be a great help to predict the prognosis of cancer more precisely. Deep bio will continue its efforts to make these technologies for real clinical settings.”

“By presenting significant research results at this year’s AACR, Deep Bio not only showcased its commitment to AI-based cancer diagnosis and digital pathology but also expanded its presence globally. With the proven and tested technologies, we will lead digital pathology and AI through close partnerships with clinics, research institutes, and digital pathology platform providers,” said Sun Woo Kim, the CEO of Deep Bio.

Deep Bio continues to focus on not only AI diagnostics but also R&D and presenting the results at various international conferences and events. The company also continues to build its presence in the global market through overseas digital pathology solution providers in the US, Europe, and India, as well as conducting research cooperation with Stanford Medical School, Harvard Dana-Farber Cancer Center, and other top research institutions in the US.

Five researches in regards to deep learning-based cancer diagnosis and prognosis highlighted

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA (PRWEB) MARCH 23, 2022 – Deep Bio, a pioneer in medical AI for pathologic cancer diagnostics, announced five research studies at the 2022 United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology (USCAP) held during March 19th through March 24th in Los Angeles. These deep learning-based pathology algorithms demonstrated their potential utility as cancer diagnostic support software.

The studies explore how deep learning can be utilized in cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and prediction of multiple cancer types, including prostate, breast, lungs, etc. In particular, novel research studies such as “Deep Learning-based Automated Detection of Prostate Cancer Lesions in Hematoxylin Only Visualized Images” and “Breast Cancer Survival Analysis through the Extracted Feature from the Prostate Diagnosis Model” drew attention from the USCAP attendees.

“It is especially meaningful for us to share the studies that are conducted for the first time in the field of cancer diagnosis and survival analysis at this year’s USCAP annual meeting. Notably, the fact that our current deep learning-based algorithm, trained with histomorphological features of prostate cancer, accurately predicted the prognosis of breast cancer suggests that the model can be applied to diagnosis, prognosis, and prediction of other types of cancer,” said Tae Yeong Kwak, the CTO of Deep Bio.

Deep Bio continues to focus on not only AI diagnostics but also R&D and presenting the results in various international conferences and events. The company also continues to build its market presence in the global market through overseas digital pathology solution providers in the US, Europe, and India, as well as conducting research cooperation with Stanford Medical School, Harvard Dana-Farber Cancer Center, and other top research institutions in the US.

Sun Woo Kim, the CEO of Deep Bio said, “with growing interest in digital pathology, we are proud to present meaningful research results on deep learning-based cancer diagnostics at the world’s largest pathology society which we’ve participated in every year since 2018. We will continue to endeavor in novel researches using our deep learning technology to bring innovations in cancer medicine.”
