Abstract
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in cytopathology is an emerging field with transformative potential, aiming to enhance diagnostic precision and operational efficiency. This umbrella review seeks to identify prevailing themes, opportunities, challenges, and recommendations related to AI in cytopathology. Utilizing a standardized checklist and quality control procedures, this review examines recent advancements and future implications of AI technologies in this domain. Twenty-one review studies were selected through a systematic process. AI has demonstrated promise in automating and refining diagnostic processes, potentially reducing errors and improving patient outcomes. However, several critical challenges need to be addressed to realize the benefits of AI fully. This review underscores the necessity for rigorous validation, ongoing empirical data on diagnostic accuracy, standardized protocols, and effective integration with existing clinical workflows. Ethical issues, including data privacy and algorithmic bias, must be managed to ensure responsible AI applications. Additionally, high costs and substantial training requirements present barriers to widespread AI adoption. Future directions highlight the importance of applying successful integration strategies from histopathology and radiology to cytopathology. Continuous research is needed to improve model interpretability, validation, and standardization. Developing effective strategies for incorporating AI into clinical practice and establishing comprehensive ethical and regulatory frameworks will be crucial for overcoming these challenges. In conclusion, while AI holds significant promise for advancing cytopathology, its full potential can only be achieved by addressing challenges related to validation, cost, and ethics. This review provides an overview of current advancements, identifies ongoing challenges, and offers a roadmap for the successful integration of AI into diagnostic cytopathology, informed by insights from related fields.
