How is trustworthy AI used in cancer subtyping?

Trustworthy AI helps doctors find out what kind of cancer someone has by looking closely at how it behaves.

Imagine you have a big box of lego bricks, all different colors and shapes. Now, suppose you want to know which ones are from the same set. You might sort them by color or size. Doctors do something similar with cancer, they use trustworthy AI like a super-smart helper who can see tiny details in cells under a microscope.

How it helps doctors sort cancers

Doctors take a small piece of tissue from someone with cancer and look at it closely. The AI sees patterns that are too small for the human eye to catch easily, like how the cancer cells grow or change shape.

This is like having a detective who can tell if two lego sets came from the same box just by looking at one tiny brick, but instead of legos, it's looking at parts of the body that help doctors decide what kind of treatment to use.
