arXiv:2510. 00053v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Pathology whole-slide images (WSIs) are widely used for cancer survival analysis because of their comprehensive histopathological information at both cellular and tissue levels, enabling quantitative, large-scale, and prognostically rich tumor feature analysis.

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.
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.

SCOUT is a concept‑grounded multimodal transformer that generates whole‑slide pathology reports by integrating local histological patterns, whole‑slide context, and expert‑curated diagnostic concepts. It uses evolving visual representations and recursively updated slide‑ and concept‑conditioned representations, with separate attention pathways during decoding that are fused adaptively for each token. Evaluated on TCGA‑BRCA, HistAI, and REG‑2025, SCOUT outperformed existing methods, improving BLEU, METEOR, and ROUGE‑L scores and raising the Clinical Report Quality Score on REG‑2025.
