arXiv:2608. 15019v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Breast mass segmentation is an important step in computer-aided mammography, but it remains difficult because masses can have low contrast, irregular shapes, and boundaries that blend with surrounding breast tissue.

Whole slide images (WSIs) in digital histopathology are acquired at discrete magnification levels encoding complementary diagnostic information from global tissue architecture to fine-grained cellular morphology. Yet, deep learning models remain sensitive to scale variation.
arXiv:2606. 06983v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computational pathology requires visual representations that transfer across diverse clinical endpoints and remain robust to variation in magnification, staining, scanner type, slide preparation, and input resolution.

OncoVision is a privileged‑information training framework that learns from mammography images and clinical data during training but performs inference using only mammographic images. It employs an attention‑based encoder‑decoder to jointly segment masses, calcifications, axillary findings, and breast tissue, and predicts ten structured clinical features such as BI‑RADS. Two late‑fusion strategies (Independent and Dependent) integrate imaging, radiomic, and clinical information to improve diagnostic precision, and a retrospective multi‑reader study showed higher diagnostic confidence, reduced reading time, and segmentation accuracy comparable to or better than radiologists.

PathoHR is a new pipeline for predicting breast cancer survival from high‑resolution pathological images. It uses a plug‑and‑play Vision Transformer to enhance patch‑wise whole slide image representations, evaluates multiple similarity metrics to optimize feature learning, and shows that smaller, enhanced patches can match or surpass the accuracy of larger raw patches while cutting computational cost. The authors provide experimental evidence that this approach improves both accuracy and efficiency in computational pathology.

This study evaluates the classification accuracy of six modern deep‑learning architectures—VGG19, ResNet50, GoogleNet, ConvNeXt, EfficientNet, and Vision Transformers—on breast ultrasound images categorized by BI‑RADS. Using 2,945 training images and 936 validation images from 1,540 patients, the models were tested in full fine‑tuning, linear evaluation, and training‑from‑scratch settings. The best performance was achieved with full fine‑tuning, yielding 76.39 % accuracy and a 67.94 % F1 score.

arXiv:2607. 10188v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Breast cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed malignancy among women worldwide, yet accurate detection and characterization of breast masses in mammography remain challenging due to subtle intensity variations, heterogeneous tissue densities, and indistinct lesion boundaries that complicate radiological interpretation.
