Image-Based Network Analysis of DNp73 Expression by Immunohistochemistry in Rectal Cancer Patients

Conclusion: Our work contributes to the elucidation of the predictive value of DNp73 expression in rectal cancer patients who were given preoperative radiotherapy. Mathematical properties of fuzzy weighted recurrence networks of immunohistochemistry images are not only able to show the predictive factor of DNp73 expression in the patients, but also reveal the identification of non-effective application of radiotherapy to those who had poor overall survival outcome.
