- Assessment of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) is increasingly recognized as an integral part of the prognostic workflow in triple-negative (TNBC) and HER2-positive breast cancer, as well as many other solid tumors. This recognition has come about thanks to standardized visual reporting guidelines, which helped to reduce inter-reader variability. Now, there are ripe opportunities to employ computational methods that extract spatio-morphologic predictive features, enabling computer-aided diagnostics. We detail the benefits of computational TILs assessment, the readiness of TILs scoring for computational assessment, and outline considerations for overcoming key barriers to clinical translation in this arena. Specifically, we discuss: 1. ensuring computational workflows closely capture visual guidelines and standards; 2. challenges and thoughts standards for assessment of algorithms including training, preanalytical, analytical, and clinical validation; 3. perspectives on how to realize the potential of machine learning models and to overcome the perceptual and practical limits of visual scoring.

- Background: The amount of stroma within the primary tumor is a prognostic parameter for colon cancer patients. This phenomenon can be assessed using the tumor–stroma ratio (TSR), which classifies tumors in stroma-low (≤50% stroma) and stroma-high (>50% stroma). Although the reproducibility for TSR determination is good, improvement might be expected from automation. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the scoring of the TSR in a semi- and fully automated method using deep learning algorithms is feasible. Methods: A series of 75 colon cancer slides were selected from a trial series of the UNITED study. For the standard determination of the TSR, 3 observers scored the histological slides. Next, the slides were digitized, color normalized, and the stroma percentages were scored using semi- and fully automated deep learning algorithms. Correlations were determined using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and Spearman rank correlations. Results: 37 (49%) cases were classified as stroma-low and 38 (51%) as stroma-high by visual estimation. A high level of concordance between the 3 observers was reached, with ICCs of 0.91, 0.89, and 0.94 (all P < .001). Between visual and semi-automated assessment the ICC was 0.78 (95% CI 0.23–0.91, P-value 0.005), with a Spearman correlation of 0.88 (P < .001). Spearman correlation coefficients above 0.70 (N=3) were observed for visual estimation versus the fully automated scoring procedures. Conclusion: Good correlations were observed between standard visual TSR determination and semi- and fully automated TSR scores. At this point, visual examination has the highest observer agreement, but semi-automated scoring could be helpful to support pathologists. © 2023 The Authors

- Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become of increasing interest over the past decade. While digital image analysis (DIA) is already being used in radiology, it is still in its infancy in pathology. One of the reasons is that large-scale digitization of glass slides has only recently become available. With the advent of digital slide scanners, that digitize glass slides into whole slide images, many labs are now in a transition phase towards digital pathology. However, only few departments worldwide are currently fully digital. Digital pathology provides the ability to annotate large datasets and train computers to develop and validate robust algorithms, similar to radiology. In this opinionated overview, we will give a brief introduction into AI in pathology, discuss the potential positive and negative implications and speculate about the future role of AI in the field of pediatric pathology.

- The Banff Digital Pathology Working Group (DPWG) was established with the goal to establish a digital pathology repository; develop, validate, and share models for image analysis; and foster collaborations using regular videoconferencing. During the calls, a variety of artificial intelligence (AI)-based support systems for transplantation pathology were presented. Potential collaborations in a competition/trial on AI applied to kidney transplant specimens, including the DIAGGRAFT challenge (staining of biopsies at multiple institutions, pathologists visual assessment, and development and validation of new and pre-existing Banff scoring algorithms), were also discussed. To determine the next steps, a survey was conducted, primarily focusing on the feasibility of establishing a digital pathology repository and identifying potential hosts. Sixteen of the 35 respondents (46%) had access to a server hosting a digital pathology repository, with 2 respondents that could serve as a potential host at no cost to the DPWG. The 16 digital pathology repositories collected specimens from various organs, with the largest constituent being kidney (n = 12,870 specimens). A DPWG pilot digital pathology repository was established, and there are plans for a competition/trial with the DIAGGRAFT project. Utilizing existing resources and previously established models, the Banff DPWG is establishing new resources for the Banff community.
