Abstract

BACKGROUND: Prompt histopathological diagnosis with accuracy is required for soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) which are still challenging. In addition, the advances in artificial intelligence (AI) along with the development of pathology slides digitization may empower the demand for the prediction of behavior of STSs. In this article, we explored the application of deep learning for prediction of prognosis from histopathological images in patients with STS.
