Breast cancer is the most common cancer and second leading
cause of cancer-related death worldwide. The mainstay of breast cancer workup
is histopathological diagnosis - which guides therapy and prognosis. However,
emerging knowledge about the complex nature of cancer and the availability of
tailored therapies have exposed opportunities for improvements in diagnostic
precision. In parallel, advances in artificial intelligence (AI) along with the
growing digitization of pathology slides for the primary diagnosis are a
promising approach to meet the demand for more accurate detection,
classification and prediction of behaviour of breast tumours.
