Area of Science:

  • Computational pathology
  • Graph theory in medicine
  • Quantitative histology

Background:

  • Diagnostic lung pathology relies on accurate interpretation of histologic features.
  • Prognostic assessment in lung cancer can be improved with objective quantitative methods.
  • Understanding tumor cell heterogeneity is crucial for treatment decisions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop attributed graphs using minimum spanning tree (MST) calculations for diagnostic lung pathology.
  • To apply MST-based analysis for prognosis estimation and diagnostic confirmation in lung cancer.

Main Methods:

  • Feulgen staining of histologic slides with integrated optical density (IOD) features mapped to MST nodes.
  • Analysis of immunohistochemically and ligand histochemically stained slides, measuring mean cytoplasmic staining intensity.
