Artificial intelligence for diagnosis and Gleason grading of prostate cancer

 The Prostate Cancer Grade Assessment (PANDA) Challenge, a global artificial intelligence competition, recently published findings of their "blueprint for evaluating AI [artificial intelligence] algorithms in digital pathology" for prostate cancer patients.  In the PANDA report, prostate tumours were categorized into 5 grade groups, based on the Gleason growth patterns of tumour tissue.  Following the application of AI to grade 10,616 digitized prostate biopsies, "the algorithms achieved agreements of 0.862...[compared with] 0.868 with expert uropathologists."
