Tissue-Sparing Image-Based Diagnostics Using Machine Learning
The current tissue requirements for diagnosis and treatment-guiding biomarker testing in lung adenocarcinoma may exhaust an entire tumor sample. With many additional biomarker-guided therapies currently in development, this biomarker testing paradigm is unsustainable. Our work explores how tissue-based biomarker testing may be replaced by standard tissue imaging and machine learning.
