PCK VDS, Tumor Detection

Developed for tumor detection in PCK stained breast tissue

This APP has been developed to improve quantification of ER, PR or Ki-67 positive cells within breast carcinoma, by automatically identifying tumor areas. The APP uses the Virtual Double Staining (VDS) technique, which enables automated and robust detection of tumor regions.

Two serial sections stained for ER/PR/Ki-67 and Pancytokeratin (PCK), respectively, must be used in this APP. Tumor regions are identified automatically on the PCK stained slides and the outlined tumor region are overlaid on the biomarker stained slide, thus automatically outlining the tumor regions in the other stain.
