Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

NFH dataset

We conducted a validation study to compare the diagnostic performance among pathologists, our pathology foundation model, and pathologist-with-AI-assisted diagnosis. This study was initiated at Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University (NFHSMU), with patient enrollment from January 1, 2011 to July 31, 2024.

No interventions assigned to this group

QFSH external validation dataset

1000 slides from 1000 eligible individuals were obtained in the Qianfoshan Hospital (QFSH, Jinan, China) between January 2020 and July 2025, which was used to validate the pathology foundation models.

No interventions assigned to this group
