Abstract
This manuscript provides a comprehensive overview of the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in lung pathology, particularly in the diagnosis of lung cancer. It discusses various AI models designed to support pathologists and clinicians. AI models supporting pathologists are to standardize diagnosis, score PD-L1 status, supporting tumor cellularity count, and indicating explainability for pathologic judgements. Several models predict outcomes beyond pathologic diagnosis and predict clinical outcomes like patients' survival and molecular alterations. The manuscript emphasizes the potential of AI to enhance accuracy and efficiency in pathology, while also addressing the challenges and future directions for integrating AI into clinical practice.

Deep Learning for Lung Cancer Diagnosis, Prognosis and Prediction Using Histological and Cytological Images: A Systematic Review. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:3981. [PMID: 37568797 PMCID: PMC10417369 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15153981] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2023] [Revised: 07/27/2023] [Accepted: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the deadliest cancers worldwide, with a high incidence rate, especially in tobacco smokers. Lung cancer accurate diagnosis is based on distinct histological patterns combined with molecular data for personalized treatment. Precise lung cancer classification from a single H&E slide can be challenging for a pathologist, requiring most of the time additional histochemical and special immunohistochemical stains for the final pathology report. According to WHO, small biopsy and cytology specimens are the available materials for about 70% of lung cancer patients with advanced-stage unresectable disease. Thus, the limited available diagnostic material necessitates its optimal management and processing for the completion of diagnosis and predictive testing according to the published guidelines. During the new era of Digital Pathology, Deep Learning offers the potential for lung cancer interpretation to assist pathologists' routine practice. Herein, we systematically review the current Artificial Intelligence-based approaches using histological and cytological images of lung cancer. Most of the published literature centered on the distinction between lung adenocarcinoma, lung squamous cell carcinoma, and small cell lung carcinoma, reflecting the realistic pathologist's routine. Furthermore, several studies developed algorithms for lung adenocarcinoma predominant architectural pattern determination, prognosis prediction, mutational status characterization, and PD-L1 expression status estimation.

Bioinformatics 2022; 38:5108-5115. [PMID: 36130268 DOI: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btac641] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2022] [Revised: 08/31/2022] [Accepted: 09/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
MOTIVATION Tumor mutational burden (TMB) is an indicator of the efficacy and prognosis of immune checkpoint therapy in colorectal cancer (CRC). In general, patients with higher TMB values are more likely to benefit from immunotherapy. Though whole-exome sequencing is considered the gold standard for determining TMB, it is difficult to be applied in clinical practice due to its high cost. There are also a few DNA panel-based methods to estimate TMB; however, their detection cost is also high, and the associated wet-lab experiments usually take days, which emphasize the need for faster and cheaper alternatives. RESULTS In this study, we propose a multi-modal deep learning model based on a residual network (ResNet) and multi-modal compact bilinear pooling to predict TMB status (i.e. TMB high (TMB_H) or TMB low(TMB_L)) directly from histopathological images and clinical data. We applied the model to CRC data from The Cancer Genome Atlas and compared it with four other popular methods, namely, ResNet18, ResNet50, VGG19 and AlexNet. We tested different TMB thresholds, namely, percentiles of 10%, 14.3%, 15%, 16.3%, 20%, 30% and 50%, to differentiate TMB_H and TMB_L.For the percentile of 14.3% (i.e. TMB value 20) and ResNet18, our model achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.817 after 5-fold cross-validation, which was better than that of other compared models. In addition, we also found that TMB values were significantly associated with the tumor stage and N and M stages. Our study shows that deep learning models can predict TMB status from histopathological images and clinical information only, which is worth clinical application.

Abstract
In common medical procedures, the time-consuming and expensive nature of obtaining test results plagues doctors and patients. Digital pathology research allows using computational technologies to manage data, presenting an opportunity to improve the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment. Artificial intelligence (AI) has a great advantage in the data analytics phase. Extensive research has shown that AI algorithms can produce more up-to-date and standardized conclusions for whole slide images. In conjunction with the development of high-throughput sequencing technologies, algorithms can integrate and analyze data from multiple modalities to explore the correspondence between morphological features and gene expression. This review investigates using the most popular image data, hematoxylin-eosin stained tissue slide images, to find a strategic solution for the imbalance of healthcare resources. The article focuses on the role that the development of deep learning technology has in assisting doctors' work and discusses the opportunities and challenges of AI.
