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.

Whole-slide image (WSI) diagnosis requires identifying diagnostically relevant regions, examining them across magnifications, and integrating multi-scale evidence. However, most existing pathology benchmarks evaluate models on pre-cropped patches or pre-extracted slide features, leaving their ability to acquire evidence directly from gigapixel WSIs largely untested.
Pathology vision-language models (VLMs) have recently progressed rapidly and are commonly evaluated by answer accuracy on pathology VQA benchmarks. However, we dig into current evaluations and identify three overlooked issues: 1) Visual evidence is not always necessary.
