MILD-Net: Minimal Information Loss Dilated Network for Gland Instance Segmentation in Colon Histology Images

Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly occurring cancer in men and the second most commonly occurring cancer in women, where approximately 95% of all colorectal cancers are adenocarcinomas  (Fleming et al., 2012). Colorectal adenocarcinoma develops in the lining of the colon or rectum, which makes up the large intestine and is characterised by glandular formation. Histological examination of the glands, most frequently with the Hematoxylin& Eosin (H&E) stain, is routine practice for assessing the differentiation of the cancer within colorectal adenocarcinoma.
