Abstract

Deep learning techniques explain the enormous potential of medical image analysis, particularly in digital pathology. Concurrently, molecular markers have gained increasing significance over the past decade in the context of glioma patients, providing novel insights into diagnosis and more personalized treatment options. Deep learning combined with imaging and molecular analysis enables more accurate prognostication of patients, more accurate treatment plan proposals, and accurate biomarker (IDH) prediction for gliomas. This systematic study examines the development of deep learning techniques for IDH prediction using histopathology images, spanning the period from 2019 to 2023.The study adhered to the PRISMA reporting requirements, and databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, Google Search, and preprint repositories (such as arXiv) were systematically queried for pertinent literature spanning the period from 2019 to the 30th of 2023. Search phrases related to deep learning, digital pathology, glioma, and IDH were collaboratively utilized.Fifteen papers meeting the inclusion criteria were included in the analysis. These criteria specifically encompassed studies utilizing deep learning for the analysis of hematoxylin and eosin images to determine the IDH status in patients with gliomas.When predicting the status of IDH, the classifier built on digital pathological images demonstrates exceptional performance. The study’s predictive effectiveness is enhanced with the utilization of the appropriate deep learning model. However, external verification is necessary to showcase their resilience and universality. Larger sample sizes and multicenter samples are necessary for more comprehensive research to evaluate performance and confirm clinical advantages.Copyright © 2024 the Author(s).
