description Histopathological images (HIs) are the gold standard for evaluating some types of tumors for cancer diagnosis. The analysis of such images is time and resource-consuming and very challenging even for experienced pathologists, resulting in inter-observer and intra-observer disagreements. One of the ways of accelerating such an analysis is to use computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems. This paper presents a review on machine learning methods for histopathological image analysis, including shallow and deep learning methods. We also cover the most common tasks in HI analysis, such as segmentation and feature extraction. Besides, we present a list of publicly available and private datasets that have been used in HI research.
