Digital image analysis of pan-cytokeratin stained tumor slides for evaluation of tumor budding in pT1/pT2 colorectal cancer: Results of a feasibility study.

In conclusion, assessment of tumor budding using pan-cytokeratin stained tumor slides is a method with high correlation and agreement between observers. Digital image analysis quantifies budding tumor cells in high agreement with manual estimates, but approval of the digital slides by a pathologist is mandatory. The method qualifies for further investigation.
