Abstract

OBJECTIVES: The application of artificial intelligence (AI) to the field of pathology has facilitated the development of digital pathology, hence, making AI-assisted diagnosis possible. Due to the variety of lung cancers and the subjectivity of manual evaluation, invasive non-mucinous lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) is difficult to diagnose. We aim to offer a deep learning solution that automatically classifies invasive non-mucinous lung ADC histological subtypes.
