arXiv:2607. 03253v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) staining constitutes the primary entry point in routine diagnostic workflows, computer-aided diagnosis from whole-slide H&E images is of particular clinical relevance.
arXiv:2606. 12346v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining is the cornerstone of histopathology, yet scalable, quantitative analysis of H&E whole-slide images (WSIs) remains a central challenge in computational pathology.
The paper presents a systematic evaluation of six unsupervised image‑to‑image generative models for virtual Sirius Red staining of mouse liver tissue from routine H&E slides. It benchmarks these models across 54 scaling configurations on a newly released paired H&E‑to‑SR dataset, assessing perceptual, distributional, and task‑specific performance, and further trains the best models into deep ensembles to quantify epistemic uncertainty. The study finds that GAN‑based and diffusion‑based methods differ markedly across these metrics, indicating that reliable virtual staining requires reporting and selecting on all three axes simultaneously.

arXiv:2608. 15915v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, while histopathological diagnosis is often affected by inter-observer variability and the substantial workload associated with manual slide examination.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally, with approximately 1,926,425 new cases and 904,019 deaths reported in 2022. Accurate histologic grading plays a critical role in prognosis and treatment planning for colorectal adenocarcinoma.
The paper presents an automated segmentation pipeline for whole‑slide histopathology images of colorectal cancer, labeling tumor grades 1‑3 and normal mucosa. It employs dense prediction transformers with multiple encoder backbones, overlapping patches, test‑time augmentation, and an adaptive augmentation policy guided by large language models. The approach, combined with soft‑voting ensembles and post‑processing refinements, raises the F1 score from 62.92 to 69.84 on a colorectal cancer grade dataset.
arXiv:2511. 05150v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Molecular biomarker testing in pathology is often costly and tissue-consuming, limiting scalable clinical deployment.
The paper introduces CoPath, a lightweight framework for diagnosing peripheral neuroblastic tumors (pNTs) from whole-slide images. CoPath combines CoHisNet, a multi‑scale feature‑fusion network that replaces traditional MLPs with Kolmogorov‑Arnold Network layers for efficient nonlinear modeling, and PathVote, which aggregates patch‑level predictions using pathology‑informed priors. Experiments on a private pNT cohort and the public BreakHis dataset show that CoPath matches or surpasses existing classifiers while reducing computational complexity.
This study presents a clinically relevant framework for evaluating deep neural networks that segment lymphoma lesions in PET/CT images, addressing gaps such as out‑of‑distribution testing and comparison with expert annotators. Using 611 multi‑institutional cases, the authors assess four networks (ResUNet, SegResNet, DynUNet, SwinUNETR) with lesion‑specific metrics, detection criteria, and metabolic‑characteristic‑based thresholds, finding that models perform best on large, intense lesions. The work also demonstrates that network errors mirror those of physicians, highlighting shared challenges with small, faint lesions.
arXiv:2606. 17702v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Characterising the tumour microenvironment (TME) from routine H&E-stained histology images requires simultaneous cell segmentation, feature extraction, and interpretable clinical reporting.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most deadly and third most common cancer, and the leading cause of death among gastrointestinal cancers. Early diagnosis is crucial for the treatment of this canc...
