If a carcinoma is found in the specimen, axillary staging should be done in a second procedure, which has traditionally been performed with lymphadenectomy due to the absence of breast tissue and the belief that sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is not feasible. We present the case of a patient diagnosed with an infiltrating tumor in the left mastectomy specimen, and successful SLNB performed in a second procedure. Four nodes were sent for intraoperative analysis with negative results. Axillary lymphadenectomy was avoided, achieving proper axillary staging.

Created within the DigiPatICS project, in partnership with 8 hospitals across Catalonia, Spain, this pipeline begins by identifying tissue areas in WSIs and breaking them down into smaller, manageable tiles. Using smart image processing techniques, it filters out tiles that do not contain relevant information and focuses on the essential ones. Advanced deep learning algorithms then work to identify and classify different types of cells within the tissue. Proven effective on key breast cancer markers like HER2, Ki67, ER, and PR, the system precomputes the results overnight, allowing pathologists to simply load the pre-analyzed data for the areas of interest of the WSI that they select during their workday. Each WSI is analyzed in more or less 1110 s, providing reliable results that are ready when needed.
