Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
primary objective
The duration between the biopsy-taken date/time and the biopsy-based pathological diagnosis date/time will be calculated based on the laboratory records retrospectively.
2 years
Primary Objective
Reading time to assess section slides for pathological diagnosis will also be extracted from the laboratory records, if relevant information was kept in the records.
2 years
exploratory objective
the total cost and fees related to training, for implementing digital pathology and computational AI pathology algorithms will be assessed as an endpoint.

Eligibility Criteria
Data from samples that meet the following inclusion criterion will be analyzed. • Sample from adult patients (≥ 18 years) with suspected non-small cell lung cancer or invasive breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ.
You may not qualify if:
- Samples with the inadequate technical quality of slides (pre-analytics quality) or images, e.g., broken slides, large out-of-focus areas, slides with fixation artefacts.
- Samples from cases that were included in the training or technical validation.
- Sample taken by fine needle aspiration.
- Sample sent for cytological evaluation.
