Vessel density within tumor tissues strongly correlates with tumor proliferation and serves as a critical marker for tumor grading. Recognition of vessel density by pathologists is subject to a strong inter-rater bias, thus limiting its prognostic value. There are many challenges in the task of object detection in pathological images, including complex image backgrounds, dense distribution of small targets, and insignificant differences between the features of the target to be detected and the image background.

Background: Multiple primary malignancies are rare in cancer patients, and risk factors may include genetics, viral infection, smoking, radiation, and other environmental factors. Lynch syndrome (LS) is the most prevalent form of hereditary predisposition to double primary colorectal and endometrial cancer in females. LS, also known as hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), is a common autosomal dominant condition.

Whole slide images (WSIs) play a crucial role in histopathological analysis. The extremely high resolution of WSIs makes it laborious to obtain fine-grade annotations. Hence, classifying WSIs with only slide-level labels is often cast as a multiple instance learning (MIL) problem where a WSI is regarded as a bag and tiled into patches that are regarded as instances.

Background: Tiam1 has been identified as an oncogene and acts as an activator of GTPase Rac. Tiam1 was reported to be a promoter of cancer progression in various cancer types, while in lung adenocarcinoma, its mechanism of action is poorly understood.

Materials And Methods: Immunohistochemistry staining and Western blot assay were used to determine Tiam1 expression in lung adenocarcinoma tissues, and its association with prognosis was determined by statistical analysis.

Objective: T-cell lymphoma invasion and metastasis inducing factor 1 (Tiam1) is known to be involved in tumor progression. However, its molecular roles and mechanism in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remain unclear. The purpose of this study is to determine Tiam1 expression levels and investigate its underlying molecular mechanism in PDAC.

T lymphoma invasion and metastasis 1 (Tiam1), a guanine nucleotide exchange factor, is involved in the tumorigenesis of a number of malignancies. This study was aimed to explore the role of Tiam1 in cervical cancer progression, and evaluate the prognostic values. Tiam1 protein expression levels were detected by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining in 174 cervical cancer tissues, 92 of CINs (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia) and 32 of normal cervical epithelia tissues.

Emerging evidence has demonstrated that the high expression of HBXIP has been correlated with many cancers. With evaluation of the functional role of HBXIP in non-small-cell lung cancer, the primary aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between HBXIP expression and the prognosis of non-small-cell lung cancer patients. The protein levels of HBXIP were detected using western blotting in non-small-cell lung cancer cells.

Background: Accumulated evidence has demonstrated that Mammalian hepatitis B X-interacting protein (HBXIP) has broad roles in cancer. Although HBXIP is associated with a variety of cancers, the HBXIP protein expression level and its clinical significance in ovarian cancer have not yet been determined. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between HBXIP expression and the clinicopathological features of ovarian cancer patients to determine whether HBXIP may be correlated with a poor prognosis in ovarian cancer patients.

Mortalin is a member of the heat shock protein 70 family, which is involved in multiple cellular processes and may play key roles in promoting carcinogenesis. This study attempted to identify the clinical consequences of Mortalin overexpression and its roles in the prognostic evaluation of non-small cell lung cancer. A total of 120 non-small cell lung cancer samples paired with the adjacent non-tumor tissue samples and 10 normal lung tissues were selected for immunohistochemical staining for Mortalin.

Background: Emerging evidence demonstrated that hepatitis B virus X-interacting protein (HBXIP) has broad roles in cancers. However, high-level expression of HBXIP has been correlated with human malignancies, suggesting roles in carcinogenesis and tumor progression. The aim of the study is to investigate the role and mechanism of HBXIP oncogene and the correlation to the clinicopathological status in cervical cancers.

Background: Mortalin/GRP75 is a ubiquitous mitochondrial chaperone which related to the cytosolic heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), and plays a role in carcinogenesis. This study aims to investigate the Mortalin expression in breast cancer and its correlation with the outcome of the patients with breast cancer.

Methods: A total of 155 invasive ductal carcinoma of breast patients with strict follow-up, 52 ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and 45 adjacent non-tumor breast tissues were selected for immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of Mortalin protein.
