Abstract
The diagnosis of prostate cancer using histopathology is reliant on the accurate interpretation of stained or labelled tissue sections. Current standards rely on assessment following Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining, which is often difficult to interpret and introduces inter-observer variability. Here, we present a digital pathology atlas for prostate cancer tissue, using micrographs of both H&E and our novel set of three biomarkers as an interactive tool, where clinicians and scientists can explore high resolution histopathology from various case studies. The digital pathology prostate cancer atlas when used in conjunction with the biomarkers, will greatly assist pathologists to accurately grade prostate cancer tissue samples.
This repository also contains the original image dataset used to generate the case studies for the digital pathology atlas. The data consist of a benign case and cases of ISUP grades from 1 to 5, where initial grading was performed on the hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained tissue section, along with three serial sections from the same tissue block, labeled with our biomarker panel - Appl1, Sortilin, and Syndecan-1. This biomarker panel was then used to assist the initial H&E grading, providing a more accurate diagnosis and prognosis from the retrospective patient dataset.

We present a digital pathology atlas for prostate cancer tissue, using micrographs of both H&E (hematoxylin and eosin) and our novel set of three biomarkers as an interactive tool, where clinicians and scientists can explore high resolution histopathology from various case studies. The digital pathology prostate cancer atlas when used in conjunction with the biomarkers, will greatly assist pathologists to accurately grade prostate cancer tissue samples. The full set of digital micrographs are also accessible in this repository, along with the grading and patient outcome data.
Description of the data and file structure
The digital pathology atlas for prostate cancer is a fully interactive portable document format (PDF) file, where users can easily explore high resolution histopathology from various case studies. A usage video is also provided, helping to guide users in how to use the atlas. The micrographs of the case studies are individually labelled based on their grade group and stain or biomarker label. All micrographs were originally acquired using the Carl ZEISS Image format (CZI), using a Carl ZEISS AxioScan.Z1 microscope using a Planachromat 40x/0.95 objective. The micrographs were then converted to BigTIFF format for open access. A comma spaced value (CSV) file is also available, showing initial grading by H&E, and the improved grading using the biomarker panel assisted grading.

This interactive document allows pathologists to view example prostate cancer tissue sections, ranging from benign to ISUP grades 1 through 5 (International Society of Urological Pathology). The sections presented are stained with H&E and labeled with our biomarkers: Appl1, Sortilin, and Syndecan-1. An example usage video is also available, demonstrating the functionality of the atlas. Additionally, an image only version of this document is also available as a series of JPEG images (The_Digital_Pathology_Prostate_Cancer_Atlas_images_only.zip).
Digital micrographs
Digital micrographs of complete prostate tissue sections are available in BigTIFF format. These include H&E stained sections and sections labeled with Appl1, Sortilin, and Syndecan-1 for benign tissue and ISUP grades 1 through 5 prostate cancer tissue. Filenames are labeled according to their grading and respective stain or label (e.g., ISUP2_Sortilin.tif indicates a section graded as ISUP 2 and labeled with Sortilin).

Code/Software
The atlas is best viewed using Adobe Acrobat, either Acrobat Reader or Acrobat Professional can be used to enable full compatibility and interactivity of the atlas, while the atlas can be viewed within an internet browser, the interactive functions maybe limited. Micrographs can be opened using freely available imaging software, such as ImageJ or FiJi.
All images were acquired using a Carl ZEISS AxioScan.Z1 microscope, with a Planapochromat 40x/0.95 objective. Images were orginially stored in the native Carl ZEISS Image format (*.CZI), and then converted to BigTIFF format using Carl ZEISS Zen Blue Software (version 3.8). Lossless compression was also used to minimise file sizes, while retaining image quality. All images can be using freely available imaging software, such as ImageJ or FiJi.
