The Institute for Cancer Genetics and Informatics (ICGI) at Oslo University Hospital is a team of researchers, developers and lab-personnel who have for more than 20 years been developing methods to improve cancer diagnostics through combining biomedicine and informatics. ICGI develops methods for cancer outcome prediction based on artificial intelligence (AI) and digital image analysis. In recent years, ICGI has focused on new AI technologies, and this led to the development of Histotype Px Colorectal digital biomarker.
The number of cancer patients is steadily increasing, and successful cancer treatment requires biomarkers that predict prognosis and response to treatment. There is little knowledge about what distinguishes indolent cancer from an aggressive and lethal one, and this is the main research question at ICGI. The Institute combines the science of genetics and informatics to obtain new knowledge about cancer and to develop a new methodology for cancer diagnostics by focusing on the differences in DNA- and gene expression in tumor cells from indolent and lethal cancers. Whereas most genomic studies are performed on DNA or RNA isolated and extracted from the tumor tissue, ICGI performs the analysis directly in intact cells and tissues.
The collaboration aims at developing new and better digital biomarkers that are robust for lab and scanner variations.

Gustave Roussy is ranked as Europe’s #1 and the world’s #4 cancer hospital and is a cancer center with comprehensive expertise and is devoted entirely to patients suffering with cancer. The Institute is a founding member of the Paris Saclay Cancer Cluster. It caters for almost 50,000 patients per year and its approach is one that integrates research, patient care and teaching. Its care is personalized and combines the most advanced medical methods with an appreciation of the patient’s human requirements. Gustave Roussy brings together the skills which are essential for the highest quality research in oncology: 40% of patients treated are included in clinical studies.
The collaboration with Gustave Roussy focuses on linking biopsy material to the resections and to clinically validating Histotype Px® Colorectal in stage II and stage III colorectal cancer patients.
“Gustave Roussy aims to be at the forefront of personalized cancer treatment innovation. There is currently a lack of reliable biomarkers to guide treatment decisions in colorectal cancer. DoMore Diagnostic’s digital biomarker Histotype Px Colorectal addresses a large unmet medical need and we are very excited about the potential utility of this tool to improve the treatment we can offer this patient population.”

The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James), is the only cancer program in the United States that features a National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated comprehensive cancer center aligned with a nationally ranked academic medical center and a freestanding cancer hospital on the campus of one of the nation’s largest public universities. The James is the third-largest cancer hospital in the USA and one of the top cancer hospitals in the nation as ranked by U.S. News & World Report for 25 years and has achieved Magnet® recognition, the highest honor an organization can receive for quality patient care and professional nursing practice.
The collaboration with OSUCCC – James aims to improve personalized treatment for colorectal cancer patients in the United States. Under this retrospective testing agreement, OSUCCC - James will implement and validate DoMore Diagnostics' Histotype Px® Colorectal digital biomarker in a group of U.S. patients to determine whether the test can help guide real-life decisions for patients with stage II and stage III colorectal cancer, and as a next step bring the biomarker into clinical use.
"Digital biomarkers with deep learning to analyze histology images and predict patient outcomes are an exciting new frontier of medicine. In order to improve outcomes and reduce unnecessary side effects for cancer patients, we need a way to quickly identify high- and low-risk patients and guide personalized treatment."
- Dr. Giovanni Lujan, pathologist with OSUCCC - James; associate professor with the Ohio State College of Medicine

Erasmus MC Cancer Institute is a major academic and clinical research center in oncology, located in the heart of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, with specialists working closely with patients to fight cancer. With over 100 years of experience, the institute has gained extensive expertise in diagnosing and treating cancer. By using the latest technologies and treatments, they maximize the chances of finding a cure. For every type of cancer, specialists collaborate to deliver personalized, high-quality care. Researchers at the institute work tirelessly every day to improve the quality of cancer care, with groundbreaking studies that pave the way for new and promising treatments.
The collaboration aims to clinically validate Histotype Px® Colorectal as a biomarker in large patient cohorts of up to 2200 stage II and stage III rectal cancer patients who have not received adjuvant chemotherapy.
“There is a high medical need for biomarkers that can guide better and personalized treatment decisions. Adjuvant chemotherapy after curative resection is not standard of care for rectal cancer patients in The Netherlands and this results in a unique database worldwide. The objective of this study is to test the performance of Histotype Px as a digital biomarker in non-treated patients and its potential use as a clinical decision support tool for selecting rectal cancer patients with poor prognosis who might benefit from ACT.”

UMC Utrecht is an international university medical center with the core tasks of healthcare, research and education. With more than 12,000 employees, UMC Utrecht, is one of the largest public healthcare institutions in the Netherlands, and one of Europe’s top-ranked academic research centers and a pioneer in the adoption of digital pathology.
The collaboration with UMC Utrecht is focused on clinical validation of Histotype Px® Colorectal as a biomarker in a large patient cohort of up to 2500 patients of stage II and stage III colon cancer patients. If successful, next step will be to implement the biomarker in clinical pilot use.
“This innovative study will use the unique Dutch infrastructure of the Prospective Dutch Colorectal Cancer (PLCRC) cohort in combination with the Netherlands Cancer Registry (NCR) and PALGA“, said dr. Roodhart. “This study will utilize real-world data where we can analyze groups of treated and non-treated patients to investigate whether this AI-based digital biomarker can predict benefit of ACT in colon cancer to guide personalized treatment. Personalizing treatment and reducing overtreatment is one of the main goals the DCCG aims to achieve.”
