What if AI could predict cancer outcomes better than traditional methods—and at a fraction of the cost? In this episode, I explore how multimodal AI is reshaping lung and prostate cancer predictions and why integration challenges still stand in the way.

Episode Highlights with Timestamps:

  • [00:02:57 ] Agentic AI in toxicologic pathology – what it is and how it could orchestrate workflows.
  • [00:05:40 ] Grandium desktop scanners – making histology studies more accessible and efficient.
  • [00:08:03 ] Clover framework – a cost-effective multimodal model combining vision + language for pathology.
  • [00:13:40 ] NSCLC study (Beijing Chest Hospital) – AI predicts progression-free and overall survival with high accuracy.
  • [00:17:58 ] Prostate cancer prognostic model (Cleveland Clinic & US partners) – validating AI-enabled Pathomic PRA test.
  • [00:23:35 ] Thyroid neoplasm classification – challenges for AI in distinguishing overlapping histopathological features.
  • [00:34:49 ] Real-world Belgium case study – AI integration into prostate biopsy workflow reduced IHC testing and turnaround time.
  • [00:41:03 ] Lessons learned – adoption hurdles, system integration, and why change management is essential for successful digital transformation.
