Artificial Intelligence in Predicting Microsatellite Instability and KRAS, BRAF Mutations from Whole-Slide Images in Colorectal Cancer: A Systematic Review

Mismatch repair deficiency (d-MMR)/microsatellite instability (MSI), <i>KRAS</i>, and <i>BRAF</i> mutational status are crucial for treating advanced colorectal cancer patients. Traditional methods like immunohistochemistry or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be challenged...

description Mismatch repair deficiency (d-MMR)/microsatellite instability (MSI), <i>KRAS</i>, and <i>BRAF</i> mutational status are crucial for treating advanced colorectal cancer patients. Traditional methods like immunohistochemistry or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be challenged by artificial intelligence (AI) based on whole slide images (WSI) to predict tumor status. In this systematic review, we evaluated the role of AI in predicting MSI status, <i>KRAS</i>, and <i>BRAF</i> mutations in colorectal cancer. Studies published in PubMed up to June 2023 were included (<i>n</i> = 17), and we reported the risk of bias and the performance for each study. Some studies were impacted by the reduced number of slides included in the data set and the lack of external validation cohorts. Deep learning models for the d-MMR/MSI status showed a good performance in training cohorts (mean AUC = 0.89, [0.74–0.97]) but slightly less than expected in the validation cohort when available (mean AUC = 0.82, [0.63–0.98]). Contrary to the MSI status, the prediction of <i>KRAS</i> and <i>BRAF</i> mutations was less explored with a less robust methodology. The performance was lower, with a maximum of 0.77 in the training cohort, 0.58 in the validation cohort for <i>KRAS</i>, and 0.82 AUC in the training cohort for <i>BRAF</i>.
