CAncer MEtastases in LYmph nOdes challeNge (CAMELYON) Dataset

"This dataset contains the all data for the CAncer MEtastases in LYmph nOdes challeNge or CAMELYON. CAMELYON was the first challenge using whole-slide images in computational pathology and aimed to help pathologists identify breast cancer metastases in sentinel lymph nodes. Lymph node metastases are extremely important to find, as they indicate that the cancer is no longer localized and systemic treatment might be warranted. Searching for these metastases in H&E-stained tissue is difficult and time-consuming and AI algorithms can play a role in helping make this faster and more accurate.
