System and method for automated segmentation, characterization, and classification of possibly malignant lesions and stratification of malignant tumors

A method and apparatus for classifying possibly malignant lesions from sets of DCE-MRI images includes receiving a set of MRI slice images obtained at respectively different times, where each slice image includes voxels representative of at least one region of interest (ROI). The images are processed to determine the boundaries of the ROIs and the voxels within the identified boundaries in corresponding regions of the images from each time period are processed to extract kinetic texture features. The kinetic texture features are then used in a classification process which classifies the ROIs as malignant or benign. The malignant lesions are further classified to separate TN lesions from non-TN lesions.

Method for detection and diagnosis of lung and pancreatic cancers from imaging scans

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.

Novel prodrugs von 6-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-1h-indoles, 5-hydroxy-1,2-dihydro-3h-pyrrolo[3,2-e]indoles and 5-hydroxy-1,2-dihydro-3h-benzo(e)indoles as well as of 6-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-benzo[f]quinoline derivatives for use in selective cancer therapy

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.
