Artificial intelligence-assisted histopathological diagnosis of endocervical gastric-type adenocarcinoma: a multicenter model development and validation study

Abstract: Endocervical gastric-type adenocarcinoma (GAS) is one of the most aggressive subtypes of cervical cancer and is frequently underdiagnosed due to morphological ambiguity, leading to delayed diagnosis. Despite the availability of molecular and genomic assays, their high cost, complexity, and limited reproducibility restrict clinical use. This study therefore proposes a highly sensitive artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted diagnostic system for GAS based exclusively on H&E-stained histopathological images. We incl…

The quick read

Endocervical gastric-type adenocarcinoma (GAS) is one of the most aggressive subtypes of cervical cancer and is frequently underdiagnosed due to morphological ambiguity, leading to delayed diagnosis. Despite the availability of molecular and genomic assays, their high cost, complexity, and limited reproducibility restrict clinical use.

This study therefore proposes a highly sensitive artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted diagnostic system for GAS based exclusively on H&E-stained histopathological images. We included 309 slides from 96 GAS cases collected at Peking University Third Hospital from January 2018 to January 2025, representing the largest GAS cohort reported to date for AI research.

Main points
  • Endocervical gastric-type adenocarcinoma (GAS) is one of the most aggressive subtypes of cervical cancer and is frequently underdiagnosed due to morphological ambiguity, leading to delayed diagnosis.
  • Despite the availability of molecular and genomic assays, their high cost, complexity, and limited reproducibility restrict clinical use.
  • This study therefore proposes a highly sensitive artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted diagnostic system for GAS based exclusively on H&E-stained histopathological images.
Gain

Artificial intelligence-assisted histopathological diagnosis of endocervical gastric-type adenocarcinoma: a multicenter model development and validation study: In internal validation (Stage I), it achieved an accuracy of 0.980 (95% CI 0.977-0.983) and an ROC-AUC of 0.995 (95% CI 0.994-0.997).
