I sit down with Dr Magali Svrcek, Professor of Pathology at the University of Sorbonne in Paris, and she discusses her role as a GI Pathologist. Dr Svrcek discusses Microsatellite Instability, digital tools and Immunohistochemistry. Dr Svrcek wrote her script in English, so I in turn wrote my introduction and closing en Francais. I hope my French is ok. With fewer Pathologists, especially internationally, digital pathology could be a solution. In working with Owkin, the collaboration, MsIntuit, an AI diagnostic tool to detect MSI, and is the first to be CE marked. Colorectal cancer is experiencing an increase internationally as western lifestyle spreads. African countries, especially sub-Saharan African countries will not have the tools or infrastructure to work with this increase. Developing a network of experts using digital pathology could mitigate some of these issues.
