abstract = {Current risk-stratification systems for prostate cancer
(PCa) do not sufficiently reflect the disease heterogeneity,
and digital pathology (DP) combined with artificial
intelligence (AI) tools (DP-AI) may offer a solution to this
challenge. The aim of this work is to summarize the role of
DP-AI for PCa patients treated with radiotherapy (RT), and
to point out future areas of research. We conducted (1) a
systematic review on the evidence of DP-AI for patients
treated with RT and (2) a survey of experts using a modified
Delphi method, addressing the current role of DP-AI in
clinical and research practice to identify relevant fields
of future development. Eleven studies investigated DP-AI in
PCa RT, with most using the multimodal AI (MMAI) classifier
and four ongoing studies are currently prospectively testing
the DP-AI performance. DP-AI showed strong prognostic and
predictive performance for endpoints like distant metastasis
free survival and overall survival, outperforming
traditional risk models and assisting treatment decisions
such as androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) duration.
Fifty-one and 35 experts responded to round 1 and round 2 of
the survey respectively. Questions with ≥75 $\%$ agreement
were considered relevant and included in the qualitative
analysis. Survey results confirmed growing adoption of DP
scanners, although regional differences in re-imbursement
mechanisms and availability persist, with experts endorsing
DP-AI's potential across localized, postoperative, and
metastatic settings, though further prospective validation
is needed. DP-AI tools show strong prognostic and predictive
potential in various PCa by guiding patient stratification
and optimising ADT duration in primary RT. Prospective
studies and validation in cohorts using modern diagnostic
and treatment methods are needed before broad clinical
adoption.},
