Revolutionizing cancer diagnosis: the game-changing role of digital pathology and artificial intelligence

May 2025—Pathology plays a critical role in cancer care, encompassing the development of new treatments, diagnosis, staging, grading of disease, and clinical decision-making. While histopathological slides of tissue biopsies using hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemical staining remain central to this process, the rise of precision medicine testing is placing greater demands on pathology labs. Health care organizations globally are grappling with ways to address these challenges, mainly due to the declining number of individuals choosing pathology as a specialty. Additional challenges include the rising incidence of cancer, increased testing rates, and the growing complexity of testing. In this evolving landscape, artificial intelligence is emerging to revolutionize pathology, meeting these demands and improving patient outcomes.

Diasorin C. auris assay launched in countries accepting the CE mark

April 2025—Diasorin announced the launch of its Simplexa C. auris Direct kit in all countries that accept the CE mark. The real-time polymerase chain reaction assay is used for the direct in vitro qualitative detection of C. auris DNA from a composite swab of the axilla and groin from patients suspected of C. auris colonization. The assay detects all six C. auris clades identified worldwide. Results are available in less than two hours on the Liaison MDX.
