Yan Leyfman: New breakthrough in AI + Pathology

Yan Leyfman, Co-Founder and Executive Director at MedNews Week, shared on LinkedIn about a recent paper by Gabriele Campanella et al. published in Nature:

“New breakthrough in AI + Pathology:

A computational biomarker trained on >8,000 digital H&E slides now detects EGFR mutations in lung adenocarcinoma with clinical-grade accuracy (AUC up to 0.89)!

  • Preserves tissue
  • Reduces need for rapid molecular tests by 43%
  • Generalizes across centers + metastatic sites

This prospective, real-world study shows how AI can enhance precision oncology while conserving critical biopsy samples.

Powered by fine-tuned foundation models
Clinical utility proven in silent trial.”
