Abstract

In the published article, there was an error in the Data Availability statement. The links provided for the dataset and the code of the study were incorrect. The Data Availability statement was displayed as “The datasets for this study can be found here: https://heidata.uni-heidelberg.de/privateurl.xhtml?token=366931ac-50a2-43f9-880f-88d63e07d493 and here: https://wiki.cancerimagingarchive.net/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=33948224. The code to conduct the analysis can be found here: https://heidata.uni-heidelberg.de/privateurl.xhtml?token=366931ac-50a2-43f9-880f-88d63e07d493.” The correct Data Availability statement appears below. The datasets for this study can be found here: https://doi.org/10.11588/data/7QCR8S and here: https://wiki.cancerimagingarchive.net/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=33948224.

The citation has now been inserted in Methods, Patient data, Paragraph 1, and should read: “Whole slides from patients with BCC (n = 93), SqCC (n = 100), naevi (n = 98) and melanoma (n = 87) were extracted from the archive of the Institute of Pathology, Heidelberg University, the MVZ for Histology, Cytology and Molecular Diagnostics Trier and the Institute for Dermatopathology Hannover. Diagnoses were made according to the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Skin Tumours (13). All slides with representative tumor regions were scanned using an automated slide scanner (Aperio AT2, Leica Biosystems, Nussloch, Germany) with 400 x magnification, as previously described (14). Image data were anonymized and are provided along with this manuscript (38). Moreover, an independent external dataset of melanoma whole slides was downloaded from the website of the Cancer Imaging Archive (CPTAC-CM) (15). After quality review 62 cases were included as an external test set, while 41 of these cases were melanoma and 21 were tumor-free skin. The analysis was approved by the local ethics committee of Heidelberg University.” The citation has also been inserted in Methods, Hard- and software, Paragraph 1, and should read: “For training we used a p3.2xlarge instance from Amazon Web Services with a single V100 GPU while for inference we used a Lenovo P1 Gen 2 laptop. Further we used the Scientific Data Storage (SDS) service from Heidelberg University. Training and inference were performed using a singularity container image based on the TensorFlow Docker container image. For random augmentation we used the respective function in the image python module. The code is available at (38)”.
