Current Topics on the Integration of Artificial Intelligence in the Histopathological and Molecular Diagnosis of Uveal Melanoma

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Background: This review examines the expanding influence of artificial intelligence (AI) in the detection and management of uveal melanoma (UM). Methods: This work delves into the application of AI technologies such as machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in various diagnostic procedures, molecular profiling, and predictive analysis. Results: The discussion underscores AI’s potential to enhance diagnostic precision and efficiency. Particular focus is placed on its role in histopathological assessments of UM, where algorithms facilitate the analysis of whole-slide images (WSIs). AI contributes to more accurate tumor classification, assists in planning treatments, and improves the prediction of the prognostic indicators and molecular characteristics of the tumor. Conclusions: Despite these promising developments, this review acknowledges existing hurdles to AI implementation, including issues with data standardization and the interpretability of AI models. It emphasizes the need for further research to fully integrate AI into clinical workflows, ultimately aiming to improve patient care and outcomes.
