Lymphocytes have been found to be
important biomarkers in multiple tumors. However, automating lymphocyte
counting on tissue images is not a trivial task. These tissue images are
massive in size, requires a certain set of rules to be followed when being analysed
and moreover, the counts produced by different annotators for the same tissue
often are not tallying. Given the prognostic relevance of lymphocyte counts in
treating cancer patients, having a unified framework which can overcome these
limitations is highly appreciated by the medical staff. In my research I am
trying to address these challenges and build a reliable and robust model to
assist doctors in their clinical activities.
