Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most frequently diagnosed form of skin cancer, and its incidence continues to rise, particularly among older individuals. This trend puts a significant strain on health care systems, especially in terms of histopathologic diagnostics required for Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS), which is used to treat BCC in sensitive locations to minimize tissue loss. This study aims to address the challenges in BCC detection within MMS whole-slide images by developing and evaluating a deep learning model that bridges weakly supervised learning with interpretable segmentation-based methods through attention maps.

Solid organ transplant recipients require ongoing immunosuppression to prevent acute rejection, which puts them at risk of opportunistic infections. Viral infections are particularly challenging to prevent and treat as many establish latency and thus cannot be eliminated, whereas targets for small molecule antiviral medications are limited. Resistance to antivirals and unacceptable toxicity also complicate treatment.
