Bridging clinic and wildlife care with AI-powered pan-species computational pathology

K. Abduljabbar, S. P. Castillo, et al.

Explore the groundbreaking development of a pan-species cancer digital pathology atlas, as researchers Khalid AbdulJabbar, Simon P. Castillo, and their colleagues harness AI to revolutionize veterinary pathology and comparative oncology. This pioneering work accurately classifies cancer cells across various vertebrate species and presents new insights into canine melanoma prognosis.

Abstract
This study develops a pan-species cancer digital pathology atlas (pan-species.ai) and uses a supervised convolutional neural network trained on human samples for computational comparative pathology. The AI algorithm accurately classifies cells in two transmissible cancers and 18 other vertebrate species, with accuracy influenced by cell morphological similarity. A spatial immune score is associated with prognosis in canine melanoma and prostate tumors. A 'morphospace overlap' metric guides technology deployment. The study provides a foundation for transferring AI to veterinary pathology, accelerating veterinary medicine and comparative oncology.
