Evaluating Cancer-Related Biomarkers Based on Pathological Images: A Systematic Review

Many diseases are accompanied by changes in certain biochemical indicators called biomarkers in cells or tissues. A variety of biomarkers, including proteins, nucleic acids, antibodies, and peptides, have been identified. Tumor biomarkers have been widely used in cancer risk assessment, early screen...
