Area of Science:

  • Digital pathology
  • Artificial intelligence in medicine
  • Computational pathology

Background:

  • Prostate cancer aggressiveness is determined by the Gleason scoring system from histopathology.
  • Current AI models for Gleason scoring lack explainability, hindering clinical adoption.
  • High interobserver variability exists in Gleason scoring among pathologists.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an inherently explainable AI model for Gleason pattern segmentation in prostate cancer.
  • To improve the robustness and interpretability of AI-driven histopathological analysis.
  • To address the challenge of interobserver variability in medical image segmentation.

Main Methods:

  • Trained an AI model on 1,015 prostate tissue microarray core images.
  • Utilized detailed pattern descriptions annotated by 54 international pathologists.
  • Employed pathologist-defined terminology and soft labels to manage data uncertainty.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved robust Gleason pattern segmentation comparable to direct segmentation methods (Dice score: 0.713 ± 0.003).
    • The AI model provided interpretable outputs, enhancing clinical trust.
    • Demonstrated superior performance in segmentation accuracy compared to conventional methods.

    Conclusions:

    • An inherently explainable AI approach can effectively segment Gleason patterns despite high interobserver variability.
    • This method offers a promising alternative to conventional AI, enhancing clinical acceptance.
    • The released dataset will foster research in subjective medical image segmentation and pathologist reasoning.
