Pathomics

Pathology is the cornerstone of cancer care. Pathomics, which represents the use of artificial intelligence in digital pathology, is an emerging and promising field poised to revolutionize medical and surgical pathology in the coming years. This review provides an overview of pathomics, its current and future applications, and its most relevant uses in Head and Neck cancer care.

The number of studies investigating the use of artificial intelligence in pathology is rapidly growing. The utilization of deep learning has shown great potential, particularly with Whole Slide Images. Pathomics has been applied in various areas, including:

• Computer-assisted diagnosis


• Molecular anomalies prediction


• Tumor microenvironment and biomarker identification


• Prognosis …
