AI-Assisted System for Accurate Diagnosis and Prognosis of Breast Phyllodes Tumors

Breast phyllodes tumor (PT) is a rare fibroepithelial tumor, accounting for 1% to 3% of all breast tumors, categorized by the WHO into benign, borderline, and malignant, based on histopathology features such as tumor border, stromal cellularity, stromal atypia, mitotic activity and stromal overgrowth. Malignant PTs account for 18%-25%, with high local recurrence (up to 65%) and distant metastasis rates (16%-25%). Benign PT could progress to malignancy after multiple recurrences. Therefore, Early, accurate diagnosis and identification of therapeutic targets are crucial for improving outcomes and survival rates. In recent years, there has been growing interest in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical diagnostics. AI can integrate clinical information, histopathological images, and multi-omics data to assist in pathological and clinical diagnosis, prognosis prediction, and molecular profiling.AI has shown promising results in various areas, including the diagnosis of different cancers such as colorectal cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer. However, PT differs from breast cancer in diagnosis and treatment approach. Therefore, establishing an AI-based system for the precise diagnosis and prognosis assessment of PT is crucial for personalized medicine. The research team, led by Dr. Nie Yan, is one of the few in Guangdong Province and even nationally, specializing in PT research. Their team has been conducting research on the malignant progression, meta…
