Dr. Lal PathLabs (DLPL) has become the first laboratory in India to implement a deep learning–based AI module for detecting lymph node metastasis, including micrometastasis, in cancer patients. This breakthrough technology, developed in collaboration with Qritive and presented at USCAP 2025, one of the world’s leading pathology conferences, represents a major step in cancer diagnostics.
Accurate detection of cancer spread to lymph nodes is crucial for staging and treatment planning. If left unidentified, cancer cells may progress to advanced stages, spread to distant organs, and drastically lower survival rates. Early recognition of occult metastases, even in early-stage cancers, can significantly influence therapeutic decisions, ensuring timely and personalized treatment for patients.
