Gastric cancer is among the most malignant tumours with the highest incidence and mortality rates. The early detection and accurate histopathological diagnosis of gastric cancer are essential factors that can help increase the chances of successful treatment. While the worldwide shortage of pathologists has imposed burdens on current histopathology services, it also offers a unique opportunity for the use of artificial intelligence assistance systems to alleviate the workload and increase diagnostic accuracy. To the best of our knowledge, there has not been a clinically applicable histopathological assistance system with high accuracy that can generalize to whole slide images created with diverse digital scanner models from different hospitals. Here, we report a clinically applicable artificial intelligence assistance system developed at the Chinese PLA General Hospital, China, using a deep convolutional neural network trained with 2,123 pixel-level annotated H&E-stained whole slide images. The model achieved a sensitivity near 100% and an average specificity of 80.6% on a real-world test dataset, which included 3,212 whole slide images digitalized with three scanner models. We showed that the system could aid pathologists in improving diagnostic accuracy and preventing misdiagnoses. Moreover, we demonstrated that our system could perform robustly with 1,582 whole slide images from two other medical centres. Our study suggests the feasibility and benefits of using histopathological artificial intelligence assistance systems in routine practice scenarios.
