Objectives: Serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) in combination with immunotyping (IMT) is the diagnostic standard for detecting monoclonal proteins (M-proteins). However, interpretation of SPE and IMT is weakly standardized, time consuming and investigator dependent. Here, we present five machine learning (ML) approaches for automated detection of M-proteins on SPE on an unprecedented large and well-curated data set and compare the performance with that of laboratory experts.

- Scientists are studying blood markers that can help doctors understand how serious a brain injury is after someone has a cardiac arrest (when the heart stops).
- They are doing tests to find out which blood marker is the best at predicting how well a person will recover after six months.
- The goal is to set clear rules for doctors to follow so they can use these markers in everyday medical care to help patients better.
After several years of negative phase III trials in gastric and esophageal cancer, a significant breakthrough in the treatment of metastatic adenocarcinomas of the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) and stomach (GC) is now becoming evident with the emerging of precision oncology and implementation of molecular targets in tumor treatment. In addition, new generation studies such as umbrella and basket trials are focused on these molecular targets, which makes an early molecular diagnosis based on IHC/ISH and NGS necessary. The required companion diagnostics of Her2neu overamplification or PD-L1 expression is based on immunohistochemistry (IHC) or additionally in situ hybridization (ISH) in case of an IHC Her2neu score of 2+.
