For more than a century, the “gold” standard for diagnosing malignant neoplasms has been pathohistology. However, the continuous advancement of modern technologies is leading to a radical transformation of this field and the emergence of digital pathology. The main advantages of digital pathology include the convenience of the data storage and transfer, as well as the potential for automating diagnostic processes through the application of artificial intelligence technologies. Integrating digital pathology into clinical practice is expected to accelerate the analysis of histological samples, reduce the costs associated with such procedures, and enable the accumulation of large datasets for future scientific research. At the same time, the development of digital pathology faces certain challenges such as the need for technical upgrades in laboratories, ensuring data cybersecurity, and training qualified personnel.
