Artificial intelligence-based image analysis can predict outcome in high-grade serous carcinoma via histology alone

Abstract High-grade extrauterine serous carcinoma (HGSC) is an aggressive tumor with high rates of recurrence, frequent chemotherapy resistance, and overall 5-year survival of less than 50%. Beyond determining and confirming the diagnosis itself, pathologist review of histologic slides provides no p...
