摘要

arXiv:2605.24253v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Digital pathology archives increasingly contain multiple whole-slide images (WSIs) per case, capturing spatially distinct tumor regions and reflecting intrinsic morphological heterogeneity. However, most existing approaches rely on a single pathologist-selected slide, thereby discarding potentially informative evidence distributed across the remaining WSIs. To date, no autonomous framework has been proposed for comprehensive multi-WSI case processing. Here, we present an unsupervised framework for case-level analysis that integrates information from all available slides within a case. Rather than relying on a single designated slide, the proposed approach constructs case-level representations by selectively distilling informative patches across WSIs.
