Predicting rain by looking at umbrellas? It's a sobering analogy for the results of a new study on how AI pathology tools predict cancer. And heads up, pathology trainees, the Alamo City is calling you this month.
- Dr. Cullen Lilley
If you're thinking about what's next in your training or career, this is the meeting you do not want to miss.
- Nancy Johnson
Find out why next. Welcome to Path News Network Daily Edition from the College of American Pathologists. I'm Nancy Johnson. It's Wednesday, March 4th. If you're a pathology resident, there's a lot on your plate and under your microscope. On March 21st, you have the chance to step away for the day for the CAP Spring Residence Forum dedicated exclusively to your career path. The one-day meeting at the Grand Hyatt on the San Antonio Riverwalk. is the place to get practical guidance and insights about the field. Residence Forum Chair Dr. Cullen Lilley says the day's agenda has been shaped around what residents say they need most.
- Dr. Cullen Lilley
This year's program tackles topics you've been asking for, like our how-to breakout rooms for directed guidance on becoming a junior cap inspector, getting involved with CAP advocacy, and joining a committee or community.
- Nancy Johnson
Attendees can also sit in on other highly requested sessions on training in a new digital era, approaches to contract negotiation, and other job market topics. But Dr. Lilley emphasizes the day is also a great way to meet your community.
- Dr. Cullen Lilley
You'll connect with fellow residents and CAP leaders throughout the day at networking meals, between sessions, and at our closing reception.
- Nancy Johnson
Head over to the Upcoming Events section on the CAP homepage. to register for the Spring Residence Forum. One of the most exciting prospects of artificial intelligence is its potential to predict and diagnose cancer faster and earlier. But are the newest AI pathology tools reliable enough for the real world? Not yet, according to the results of a new study from a University of Warwick research team. They analyzed more than 8,000 patient samples you across four types and compared their results to trained AI models. The team found that AI relied on correlations between biomarkers or obvious tissue features rather than biomarker-specific signals to predict cancer. Co-author Kim Branson compared the AI approach to, quote, predicting rain by looking at umbrellas. It works, but it doesn't mean you understand meteorology. The study published this week in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering. The pipeline of infectious disease physician trainees is dwindling. Doctors will fill about 61 percent of infectious disease fellowships in 2026, compared with 88 percent five years ago, according to data from the National Resident Matching Program. Wendy Armstrong, President-elect of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, recently told the website Axios that the decrease in interest from medical residents reflects a difficult environment for the specialty. The COVID-19 pandemic, political and policy headwinds, and a lower average salary for the specialty have contributed to the challenges. The decline in infectious disease fellows coincides with national increases is in viruses such as measles, flu, and HIV. Gastrointestinal cancers have risen sharply over the past two decades, especially for those under 50. The CAP's April 16th Interactive Surgical Pathology Session on Gastrointestinal Tumors can help you keep current on tumor diagnosis, ancillary techniques, and common pitfalls. The session will incorporate updated CAP guidelines. in the case examples, and leave plenty of time to ask questions of expert faculty. You must attend the live stream to receive CME credit. That's all for today. Be sure to check the show notes for more information on today's stories. Watch your inbox for more news like this in the CAP's advocacy newsletter every Tuesday and our weekly edition newsletter on Thursdays. We're back at 5 a.m. Eastern. for another episode of The Daily Edition. I'm Nancy Johnson. Have a great day.
