Aims: No consensus exists on the clinical value of tumour regression grading (TRG) systems for therapy effects of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) in oesophageal adenocarcinoma. Existing TRG systems lack standardization and reproducibility, and do not consider the morphological heterogeneity of tumour response. Therefore, we aim to identify morphological tumour regression patterns of oesophageal adenocarcinoma after nCRT and their association with survival.

An increasing number of pathology laboratories are now fully digitised, using whole slide imaging (WSI) for routine diagnostics. WSI paves the road to use artificial intelligence (AI) that will play an increasing role in computer-aided diagnosis (CAD). In melanocytic skin lesions, the presence of a dermal mitosis may be an important clue for an intermediate or a malignant lesion and may indicate worse prognosis.

Methods: Ten rectal cancer patients of all clinical stages were prospectively included for an in-vivo 0.85 mm isotropic 3D MRI after infusion of Ferumoxtran-10.
Much research has focused on finding novel prognostic biomarkers for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), whereas only scattered information about the relation between histopathological features and survival in TNBC is available. This study aims to explore the prognostic value of histological subtypes in TNBC. A multicenter retrospective TNBC cohort was established from five Dutch hospitals.
