Abstract

BACKGROUND: Prognostic histopathological features such as mitosis in melanoma are excluded from the staging systems due to inter-observer variability and time constraints. While digital pathology offers artificial intelligence-driven solutions, existing melanoma algorithms often underperform or narrowly focus on specific features, limiting their clinical utility.
