Zusammenfassung
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the dominating malignant tumor for men worldwide and across all ethnic groups. If a carcinoma is being suspected, e.g. due to blood levels, trans-rectal punch biopsies of the prostate will be accomplished, while in case of higher stages of the disease the complete prostate is being surgically removed (radical prostatectomy). In both cases prostate tissue will be prepared into histological sections on glass microscope slides according to certain laboratory protocols, and is finally microscopically inspected by a trained histopathologist. Even though this method is well established, it can lead to various problems because of objectivity deficiencies. In this paper, we present a proof of concept of using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for automatically analyzing prostate cancer tissue and rating its malignancy using tissue microarrays (TMAs) of sampled benign and malignant tissue.
