    Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) is the most common breast carcinoma subtype, with histopathological grading crucial for assessing tumor aggressiveness.

  • 2

    Automated grading systems are needed to improve consistency and reduce variability in histopathological assessments of IDC.

  • 3

    The study introduces a novel framework that combines multiscale models, deep learning architectures, and handcrafted features for IDC grading.

  • 4

    A multicenter dataset of 925 patients and 3,660 WSIs was used to develop and validate the proposed automated grading methodology.

  • 5

    The framework enhances interpretability and robustness through cross-scale attention mechanisms and consistency loss to prevent overfitting.
