  • Distance-based tumor classification
    Patent number: 11017533
    Abstract: The system is configured to receive at least one digital image of a tissue sample of a patient; analyze the at least one received image for identifying tumor cells in a region of the at least one received image; analyze the at least one received image for identifying FAP+ areas in the region, each FAP+ area being a pixel blob representing one or more cells express the fibroblast activation protein—“FAP”; analyze the at least one received image for identifying distances between the identified tumor cells and their respective nearest FAP+ area; computing a proximity measure as a function of the identified distances; process the proximity measure by a classifier for generating a classification result, the classification result indicating if the tumor of the patient can be treated by a drug or drug-component that binds to FAP; and output the classification result.
