AI improves accuracy, agreement and efficiency of pathologists for Ki67 assessments in breast cancer

AI improves accuracy, agreement and efficiency of pathologists for Ki67 assessments in breast cancer

Ki-67 serves as a crucial indicator for predicting cancer recurrence and survival among early-stage high-risk breast cancer patients1,2. It informs decisions regarding adjuvant chemotherapy12 and radiation therapy opt-out for Luminal A breast cancer patients13. These clinical decisions often rely on PI scores between 5 and 30%; however, this range exhibits significant scoring variability among experts, …
