Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enhanced histopathology presents unprecedented opportunities to benefit oncology through interpretable methods that require only one overall label per hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) slide with no tissue-level annotations. We present a structured review of these methods organized by their degree of verifiability and by commonly recurring application areas in oncological characterization. First, we discuss morphological markers (tumor presence/absence, metastases, subtypes, grades) in which AI-identified regions of interest (ROIs) within whole slide images (WSIs) verifiably overlap with pathologist-identified ROIs. Second, we discuss molecular markers (gene expression, molecular subtyping) that are not verified via H&E but rather based on overlap with positive regions on adjacent tissue. Third, we discuss genetic markers (mutations, mutational burden, microsatellite instability, chromosomal instability) that current technologies cannot verify if AI methods spatially resolve specific genetic alterations. Fourth, we discuss the direct prediction of survival to which AI-identified histopathological features quantitatively correlate but are nonetheless not mechanistically verifiable. Finally, we discuss in detail several opportunities and challenges for these one-label-per-slide methods within oncology. Opportunities include reducing the cost of research and clinical care, reducing the workload of clinicians, personalized medicine, and unlocking the full potential of histopathology through new imaging-based biomarkers. Current challenges include explainability and interpretability, validation via adjacent tissue sections, reproducibility, data availability, computational needs, data requirements, domain adaptability, external validation, dataset imbalances, and finally commercialization and clinical potential. Ultimately, the relative ease and minimum upfront cost with which relevant data can be collected in addition to the plethora of available AI methods for outcome-driven analysis will surmount these current limitations and achieve the innumerable opportunities associated with AI-driven histopathology for the benefit of oncology.Copyright © 2023.
