AI fighting breast cancer.

According to the WHO, breast cancer has recently overtaken lung cancer to become the most common cancer globally. The BreastPathQ Challenge was launched at the SPIE Medical Imaging 2019 conference to support the development of computer-aided diagnosis for assessing breast cancer pathology. 39 teams from 12 countries participated, with 100 new algorithms developed.

The exciting results and ideas produced by the challenge have recently been reported in the Journal of Medical Imaging: https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/journals/journal-of-medical-imaging/volume-8/issue-03/034501/SPIE-AAPM-NCI-BreastPathQ-challenge--an-image-analysis-challenge/10.1117/1.JMI.8.3.034501.full?SSO=1
