This paper reports the optimisation of digital pathology approaches for evaluating drug responses in patient-derived explants at endpoint. The authors compare three image analysis software platforms and find that all three generate comparable data to that of a histomorphometrist. They also demonstrate the power of multi-immunofluorescence staining for monitoring multiple biomarkers simultaneously compared to virtual double staining of sequential sections by immunohistochemistry.
