Abstract

OBJECTIVES: The most crucial part in the diagnosis of cancer is severity grading. Gleason's score is a widely used grading system for prostate cancer. Manual examination of the microscopic images and grading them is tiresome and consumes a lot of time. Hence to automate the Gleason grading process, a novel deep learning network is proposed in this work.
