New AI model sets benchmark in digital pathology with superior cancer diagnostics

Researchers developed Prov-GigaPath, a whole-slide pathology foundation model using a novel vision transformer architecture. The model demonstrates superior performance in mutation prediction, cancer subtyping, and vision-language tasks. It leverages large-scale real-world data from over 30,000 patients to enhance clinical diagnostics.
