Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Diagnosis of breast cancer is based on identification of various morphologic features by histopathologic examination of the specimen. Ancillary immunohistochemical and molecular analyses provide additional information that is prognostic and guides therapy. Because of subjectivity in this approach, we sought to develop a computer model which could assist in differentiating normal or benign tissue from malignant breast carcinoma.
