Retrospective Pathology Foundation Models

By integrating retrospective multimodal data such as pathology and imaging, AI technologies offer novel solutions for disease classification, tumor grading, histological and molecular subtyping, selection of chemotherapy regimens, risk stratification, and treatment-response prediction. This research direction not only deepens our understanding of tumor biological characteristics but also provides essential support for precision medicine and individualized therapy. It holds significant theoretical and practical value and has important implications for mitigating strained medical resources and improving the accuracy of therapeutic decision-making, representing a cutting-edge application with substantial translational potential.
