Application perspective of large pathological section coupled with artificial intelligence in the diagnosis of pancreatic tumors / 中华胰腺病杂志

ABSTRACT

Large pathological sections can display tumors and the para-tumor tissues holistically and completely on one slice, which is beneficial to the whole observation and evaluation of tumors and their surrounding microenvironments, thus gaining a comprehensive understanding about the disease. With the gradual realization of digital pathology and advancement in computational pathology, artificial intelligence has made it possible to achieve accurate and individualized diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic tumors by linking up morphologies of different tumor cells and surrounding microenvironments with various types of data including image omics, gene proteomics and clinical data, which is both an opportunity and a challenge for Chinese researchers.
