PathAI Announces Research Presentations at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium

PathAI

PathAI, a leading technology company which combines AI-powered pathology solutions with end-to-end central pathology and histology services, today announced it will present four research presentations underscoring the value and potential of PathExplore’s* human interpretable features (HIFs), and one research presentation demonstrating the ability of the AIM-HER2* product to accurately predict HER2 scores, including in HER2-low cases, at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium on December 5-9, 2023, in San Antonio, TX. “This research builds on our past successes and proceeds to show that PathAI’s algorithms continue to further our understanding of cancer biology and disease mechanisms,” said Andy Beck, M.D., Ph.D., co-founder and chief executive officer of PathAI. “At PathAI, we continue to demonstrate the clinical potential for these AI pathology tools, and we’re confident that it will ultimately translate to advancements in precision medicine and patient outcomes.” Poster #PO1-07-01: Artificial Intelligence-based prediction of Oncotype DX score from whole slide images using human-interpretable features and breast biomarkers The Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score assay (ODX) is a commonly used genomic test for patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, HER2-negative, early-stage invasive breast cancer. While ODX predicts patients’ recurrence risk and benefit from chemotherapy, it is time-consuming and expensive. Using human-interpretable features extracted from H&E whole slide images with the PathExplore Breast model, together with manually assessed ER, PR, HER-2 scores, and tumor stage, PathAI, in collaboration with researchers from the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, developed interpretable models for predicting ODX recurrence scores using histological features and clinical covariates. The models achieved a level of performance comparable to previous deep-learning approaches, while also revealing the contribution of features such as cancer cell density, immune cell density, and variations in cancer nuclear shape and color to the ODX score prediction. Using readily available information, the model has the potential to be a convenient screening tool for patient stratification, which may lead to better patient care, lower costs, and faster treatment. Presenting Author: Nhat Le Time/Location: Wednesday, December 6, 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM, Poster Session 1 Poster #PO3-07-04: Prediction of PAM50 molecular subtypes from H&E-stained breast cancer specimens using tumor microenvironment features and additive multiple instance learning models PAM50, a 50-gene signature, classifies breast cancers into one of five subtypes and has emerged as a key prognostic indicator influencing treatment decisions. There is growing interest in bridging the gap between expression-based metrics and histopathology. In this poster, PathAI describes a computer vision-based approach to predict PAM50 classification using H&E-stained whole slide images (WSIs). Two separate machine learning approaches were developed to predict PAM50 subtypes from WSIs. Both models performed well in predicting Basal, Luminal A, Luminal B, and Luminal (A+B) subtypes, and provide biological interpretability not found in typical black-box models. The results support the notion that AI-powered digital pathology can accurately and reproducibly perform molecular-based classification tasks such as predicting PAM50 classifications using WSIs, suggesting a more efficient path toward clinically relevant breast cancer characterization. Presenting Author: Nhat Le Time/Location: Thursday, December 7, 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM CT, Poster Session 3 Poster #PO1-15-01: Digital pathology models reveal case-specific characteristics of the tumor microenvironment Tumor microenvironments are complex three-dimensional structures, but often only single histological sections are used to glean biological information for research purposes or in some diagnostic practices. These conclusions can also be affected by technical factors in slide preparation and digitization. In this research, PathAI applied PathExplore, a suite of digital pathology models to identify cell and tissue substances as well as their spatial relationships, to whole-slide images of breast cancer tumors and quantified intra- and inter-tumor heterogeneity in human-interpretable features of the tumor microenvironment. The results reveal biological and technical variability that can inform selection and interpretation of biomarkers derived from single slides. The ability to uniquely identify slides from the same case additionally demonstrates the technical robustness of digital pathology models for yielding quantitative insights into tumor biology. Presenting Author: Ylaine Gerardin Time/Location: Wednesday, December 6, 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM, Poster Session 1 Poster #PO2-14-12: Accurate quantification of slide-level HER2 scores in breast cancer using a machine-learning model, AIM-HER2 Breast Cancer The HER2 biomarker is critical in determining a breast cancer treatment course. To aid accurate interpretation of HER2-stained breast cancer specimens, PathAI developed the AIM-HER2 machine learning model, which demonstrates that the model performs comparably to pathologists in the prediction of HER2 scores (0-3+), including HER2-low. Comparable concordance between AIM-HER2 and pathologists was also observed irrespective of the HER2 antibody clone or slide scanner used. AIM-HER2 was developed using “Additive Multiple Instance Learning,” a novel technique which yields highly explainable results as slide-level scores and heatmaps, thereby supporting future use in AI-assisted pathologist workflows.

Introducing Sulinu

Sulinu

Sulinu, the trailblazing company transforming the approach to pre- and post-operative nutritional care, announces its official launch. Established by the highly regarded Clinical Dietitian, Kylie Bensley MS, RD, Sulinu introduces a paradigm shift with her comprehensive nutrition programs incorporating clinically-proven ingredients to enhance preparation for and recovery from elective procedures. As the first company of its kind, Sulinu is poised to make a profound impact on the cosmetic surgery industry, setting new standards for patient care and outcomes. Boasting over a decade of experience as a distinguished expert in nutrition, Bensley has dedicated her career to working with esteemed hospital post-surgical facilities in Cambridge and Boston, MA. Through this experience, she observed the challenges hindering proper healing and the consequent damage to the body resulting from insufficient nutrients for optimal repair. What makes Sulinu truly groundbreaking and a category innovator is that has created: The inaugural and most complete surgical recovery powder on the market and the ONLY medical-grade one available to consumers An All-IN-ONE powder that delivers vital bioavailable ingredients to the bloodstream for optimal recovery, including proteins, collagen, vitamins, enzymes, minerals and amino acids. A cleaner and more wholesome alternative to the enteral and oral nutritional supplements utilized in leading surgical facilities The ONLY powder of its kind to completely dissolve in liquid A once-daily, superblend scoop delivers immune-boosting, mind-calming and incision-healing properties for optimal nutrition and recovery Sulinu stands at the forefront of innovations in cosmetic surgery nutrition, ensuring that individuals can now navigate their surgical journeys with enhanced support and optimal well-being. By pioneering a program that underscores the importance of gut health in incision healing, Bensley simplifies and streamlines the dietary process for the body to bolster immunity, minimize swelling, alleviate bruising and fill nutrient gaps. "Nutrition is a fundamental yet often overlooked aspect of the cosmetic surgery journey,” says Bensley. “Sulinu was born out of the belief that individuals deserve inclusive, expert-guided nutrition plans to optimize their surgical experience, from preparation to recovery." The Sulinu program is designed with three key components that work collectively to combat the factors known to impair incision healing, increase infection risk, and delay overall downtime. 1. Before + After Vitals Dietary Powder Supplement*: An all-in-one gluten-free powder formulated with patented ingredients to deliver the essential and crucial nutrients needed before and after surgery. Bioenhanced Vitamin C – clinically proven to reduce inflammation and help grow and repair body tissue Proteolytic Enzymes - helps absorb protein and reduce the amount that’s excreted when combined with other proteins, increasing the absorption of total serum amino acids, which are essential for incision healing Hydrolyzed Collagen - stimulates skin cells to produce more collagen, essential to giving skin structure, strength and elasticity Biome Synbiotics – blend of both patented prebiotics and patented probiotics clinically proven to survive stomach acids and arrive alive in the gut to support a healthy microbiome. 2. Pre-Op Meal Guide. This extensive guide not only prepares the body to fast-track beautiful results, it also helps navigate dietary pitfalls that can contribute to experiencing dangerous complications. All recipes are carefully curated with ingredients that work together to turbocharge healing in efforts to avoid excessive bruising, swelling and slow-to-mend incisions. 3. Comprehensive 2-Week Post-Op Meal Plan. Tailored to specific cosmetic procedures (tummy, face, breast), each delicious, nutrient-rich, high-protein recipe is designed to alleviate nausea, pain, constipation, and optimize skin healing. Every ingredient serves a specific post-surgery recovery purpose (i.e. flax for fiber, bone broth for absorbable amino acids, turmeric for anti-inflammatory effects). Sulinu stemmed from Bensly’s frustrations in witnessing patients being prescribed multiple vitamins to augment protein powders. This not only proved costly for the patient, but ineffective because supplement dosages were incorrect and were not paired with ingredients that helped maximize absorption. This often disrupted the patient’s gut biome and hindered healing. Sulinu makes accessing the most effective and clinically proven nutrition available while also offering: Expert Guidance from a Registered Dietitian: With Kylie Bensley at the helm, Sulinu provides access to expert guidance from a registered dietitian with a wealth of knowledge in both nutrition and the specific requirements of cosmetic surgery patients. Pre-Operative Optimization: Sulinu emphasizes the importance of pre-operative nutrition to prepare the body for surgery. Through specialized dietary recommendations, clients can enhance their resilience and support their bodies in the lead-up to their cosmetic procedures. Post-Operative Recovery Support: Sulinu's post-operative nutrition plans are designed to accelerate recovery, reduce inflammation, and promote optimal healing. These plans address the unique nutritional needs that arise after cosmetic surgery, contributing to a smoother and more comfortable recovery process. Evidence-Based Approach: Sulinu is committed to an evidence-based approach, incorporating the latest research in nutrition science to guide its recommendations. This ensures that clients receive the most up-to-date and effective nutritional support throughout their cosmetic surgery journey. * Many supplements rely solely on third-party testing, which only states the presence of the vitamin. Sulinu also uses patented ingredients to ensure effectiveness at the clinically studied amounts. Recognized as safe by FDA (GRAS-affirmed): a much harder accreditation to achieve than those of standard supplement safety. Price and Availability: All-in-One Starter Kit: $297-$347 Before + After Vitals: $97 / 20 servings (1 pouch) Pre-Op Meal Guide: $97 Post-Op Meal Plan: $197-$294 Contacts: Find us: sulinu.com Follow us: LinkedIn · IG · TikTok · Facebook: # # # PR contacts: JJBPR Tara@jjbpr.com Jennifer@jjbpr.com Contact Details JJBPR Jennifer Bickerton +1 917-968-7763 jennifer@jjbpr.com JJBPR jennifer bickerton jennifer@jjbpr.com JJBPR Tara Watnik Tara@jjbpr.com Company Website https://www.sulinu.com
