  • 1

    AI is revolutionizing cancer pathology by automating diagnostic tasks and extracting new information from histological slides.

  • 2

    SPARK is a novel AI framework that autonomously generates and implements analytical strategies for cancer pathology without retraining.

  • 3

    SPARK has been validated across 18 patient cohorts and five cancer types, revealing new insights into tumor biology and aggressiveness.

  • 4

    The framework enables the discovery of clinically relevant biomarkers through its modular design and interactive interface for researchers.

  • 5

    SPARK processes H&E-stained images to derive prognostic and predictive biomarkers, enhancing risk stratification and therapy selection.
