, /PRNewswire/ -- Lunit (KRX:328130.KQ), a leading provider of AI-powered solutions for cancer diagnostics and therapeutics, today announced the presentation of seven studies at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2024 Annual Meeting in , from . Lunit will present detailed findings on several innovative studies, including the identification of HER2 ultra-low expression in breast cancer using AI-based quantification, and a deep learning-based model integrating chest CT and histopathology analysis for predicting immunotherapy response in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
In a poster presentation, Lunit's AI-powered HER2 analyzer, Lunit SCOPE HER2, demonstrated the ability to identify HER2 ultra-low expression and differentiate it from true HER2-negative cases in breast cancer patients using continuous subcellular quantification from HER2 immunohistochemistry (IHC) images. According to findings presented at ASCO 2022, HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) can effectively target tumor cells even in HER2-low breast cancers. This highlights the importance of accurately identifying HER2-low and HER2 ultra-low expression in breast cancer, especially for patients previously classified as HER2-negative.
In response, Lunit developed an AI-based whole-slide image (WSI) analyzer for IHC-stained slides to differentiate between true HER2-negative and HER2 ultra-low cases. The AI model evaluated over 67 million tumor cells and 119 million non-tumor cells from 401 WSIs,.
