A method of detecting and diagnosing cancers characterized by the presence of at least one nodule / neoplasm from an imaging scan is presented. To detect nodules in an imaging scan, a 3D CNN using a single feed forward pass of a single network is used. After detection, risk stratification is performed using a supervised or an unsupervised deep learning method to assist in characterizing the detected nodule / neoplasm as benign or malignant. The supervised learning method relies on a 3D CNN used with transfer learning and a graph regularized sparse MTL to determine malignancy. The unsupervised learning method uses clustering to generate labels after which label proportions are used with a novel algorithm to classify malignancy. The method assists radiologists in improving detection rates of lung nodules to facilitate early detection and minimizing errors in diagnosis.

The chemotherapy of malignant tumours is greatly restricted by the generally slight differentiation of the available cytostatic agents between normal and malignant tissue. In order to achieve an improvement of the selectivity in cancer therapy, novel prodrugs have been developed from 6-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-indolene, 5-hydroxy-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrrolo[3,2-e]indolene and 5-hydroxy-1,2-dihydro-3H-benzo[e]indolene as well as from 6-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-benzo[f]-quinolines, that may be used within the framework of the ADEP therapy (antibody directed enzyme prodrug therapy). The new prodrugs are characterised by a high difference in toxicity between the prodrug and underlying drug and by a very high efficacy of the drug. The high selectivity of the new prodrugs is probably attributed to the fact that, in the new prodrugs, a secondary halide is present in contrast to the prodrugs of a similar type previously produced by us. The direct alkylation of the DNA or RNA by the prodrugs and thus the toxicity of the prodrugs is thereby reduced. After splitting off of the glycosidic and / or acetal group on the phenolic hydroxy groups of the prodrugs, a spirocyclopropacyclohexadiene is formed which, being a highly toxic group, effects an alkylation of the DNA or RNA.
