Background/Objectives: Circulating tumor-associated cells (CTACs) are rare among peripheral blood nucleated cells (PBNCs), creating a challenge for image-based multi-cancer detection. We evaluated a predefined CTAC-detection pipeline incorporating Attention U-Net segmentation, post-processing, cytological feature extraction, and Random Forest classification. Methods: Model suitability was …

Abstract Background Circulating tumor associated cell (CTAC) detection-based multi-cancer early detection (MCED) strategies may be hindered by the rarity of CTACs among millions of peripheral blood nucleated cells (PBNCs). We developed an advanced U-Net-based encoder-decoder model for pixel-level CTAC discrimination that integrates …

3060 Background: Tumor educated Polymorphonuclear Granulocytes (tPMNG) are a distinct phenotypic set of Neutrophils (N2) with corrupted programmed death pathways resulting in apoptosis resistance. The presence of tPMNGs in the peripheral blood indicates up-regulation of pro-tumoral factors and resistance to apoptotic signals. …

e15056 Background: Classical Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) are defined as EPCAM+, PanCK+, CD45-, whereas, Circulating Tumor Associated Cells (CTACs) are defined as EPCAM+, PanCK+, CD45+/-. CTACs comprise a heterogenous mix of tumor-associated cells including classical CTCs, cancer stem cells, circulating micro-emboli, tumor …

3054 Background: The advancements in automated High Content Analysis (HCA) for Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) detection necessitate the integration of high-throughput screening (HTS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve cancer diagnosis efficiency and accuracy. Traditional approaches to cancer detection have faced limitations …

BACKGROUND: The low specificity of serum PSA resulting in the inability to effectively differentiate prostate cancer from benign prostate conditions is a persistent clinical challenge. The low sensitivity of serum PSA results in false negatives and can miss high-grade prostate cancers. We …

Abstract Background: Common modalities for breast cancer screening include self-breast examination (SBE) for detection of palpable lumps as well as Mammography scans for detection of suspicious nodules or masses. While both approaches have low specificity, SBE has lower sensitivity for early stage …
