Help Defeat Cancer used image processing techniques together with thousands of images of microscopic cancer tissue samples to determine the specific type and stage of cancer present. This information allowed the researchers to cross-reference the cancer type with the known outcomes of individual patients to determine which therapies or combinations of treatments are most likely to be effective for each kind of cancer.
The project was highly successful, the researchers using the results to get funding for a clinical decision support system to enable researchers and physicians to automatically analyse and classify imaged cancer specimens with improved diagnostic and prognostic accuracy.

What's the highest batch you have received (GPU OPNG ONLY)? - - 1970/01/01 00:00
- Hi all fellow crunchers! We need a way to track batches received for GPU work as well, so here we can report the highest batch received for GPU WUs (WUs starting with OPNG in the name). I'll start wi...
