Abstract

OBJECTIVE: In non-clinical safety evaluation of drugs, pathological result is one of the gold standards for determining toxic effects. However, pathological diagnosis might be challenging and affected by pathologist expertise. In carcinogenicity studies, drug-induced squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the mouse stomach represents a diagnostic challenge for toxicopathologists. This study aims to establish a detection model for mouse gastric squamous cell carcinoma (GSCC) using deep learning algorithms, to improve the accuracy and consistency of pathological diagnoses.
