PAIP2020

Built on the success of its predecessor, PAIP2020 is the second challenge organized by the Pathology AI Platform (PAIP) and the Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH). PAIP2020 will proceed to not only detect whole tumor areas in colorectal cancers but also to classify their molecular subtypes, which will lead to characterization of their heterogeneity with respect to prognoses and therapeutic responses. All participants should predict one of the molecular carcinogenesis pathways, i.e., microsatellite instability(MSI) in colorectal cancer, by performing digital image analysis without clinical tests. This task has a high clinical relevance as the currently used procedure requires an extensive microscopic assessment by pathologists. Therefore, those automated algorithms would reduce the workload of pathologists as a diagnostic assistance.

SegPC-2021

This challenge is positioned towards robust segmentation of cells which is the first stage to build such a tool for plasma cell cancer, namely, Multiple Myeloma (MM), which is a type of blood cancer.

Breast Cancer Segmentation

Semantic segmentation of histologic regions in scanned FFPE H&E stained slides of triple-negative breast cancer from The Cancer Genome Atlas. See: Amgad M, Elfandy H, ..., Gutman DA, Cooper LAD. Structured crowdsourcing enables convolutional segmentation of histology images. Bioinformatics. 2019. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btz083

WSSS4LUAD

The WSSS4LUAD dataset contains over 10,000 patches of lung adenocarcinoma from whole slide images from Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital and TCGA with image-level annotations. The goal of this challenge is to perform semantic segmentation for differentiating three important types of tissues in the WSIs of lung adenocarcinoma, including cancerous epithelial region, cancerous stroma region and normal region. Paticipants have to use image-level annotations to give pixel-level prediction.

PUMA: Panoptic segmentation of nUclei and tissue in MelanomA

The PUMA Challenge aims to enhance nuclei and tissue segmentation in melanoma histopathology, addressing the need for better prognostic biomarkers to predict treatment responses. Melanoma, a highly aggressive skin cancer, often requires immune checkpoint inhibition therapy, but only half of patients respond. Prognostic biomarkers like tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) correlate with better therapy responses and lower recurrence rate, but manual TIL scoring is subjective and inconsistent. Current deep learning methods underperform. The PUMA dataset includes annotated primary and metastatic melanoma regions to improve segmentation techniques. The challenge includes two tracks with tasks focused on tissue and nuclei segmentation, encouraging advanced methods to improve predictive accuracy.
