Whole slide image (WSI) classification is an evidence-driven task, where diagnostic cues are often sparse, spatially organized, and class-dependent. Existing MIL and vision-language methods aggregate a large pool of patch features into a single global slide representation.

The study investigates whether pathology foundation models (PFMs) carry center-related biases into whole-slide image (WSI) classification. By training models with increasing class-center correlations and evaluating six PFMs across four datasets and two MIL aggregators, the authors introduce the Area Under the Cramér's V Curve (AUCC) to measure both accuracy and degradation due to spurious correlations. Results reveal that center information propagates to WSI predictions, with robustness varying by PFM and MIL strategy, and that ComBat harmonization does not consistently improve robustness.

SlideBank is a training‑free framework that turns each whole‑slide image into a persistent, concept‑indexed evidence bank. It performs coarse‑to‑fine exploration to locate informative regions and multi‑scale views, converts them into explicit morphological observations, and anchors pathology signals to the supporting patches and slide coordinates. During inference, questions are routed to relevant signals and evidence scales, and a confidence‑based cross‑level consensus integrates global, regional, and patch evidence, achieving high accuracy on WSI‑VQA and SlideBench‑BCNB while enabling consistent re‑phrasing and reduced inference cost.

Automated pathology report generation from Whole Slide Images (WSIs) has attracted increasing attention in digital pathology. However, existing methods are predominantly developed under single-organ settings, overlooking the multi-organ scenarios encountered in clinical practice, where organ types typically follow a long-tailed distribution.
