‘Computational pathologist’ (C-Path) diagnoses different grades of breast cancer

named C-Path, for computational pathologist — developed a new list of features that best predicted patient outcome. Instead of focusing on the tumour cells themselves, C-Path determined that the most predictive features were found in the cells surrounding the tumour, in a region called the stroma. The results were published today in Science Translational Medicine (Beck, A. H. et al. Science Trans. Med. 3, 108ra113 (2011)).
