Transforming cancer care with AI-powered precision oncology

DocLane predicts clinically relevant mutations directly from routine H&E pathology images, then fuses them with radiology, genomics and clinical history into one decision-support layer - built and validated for Indian patients.

The diagnostic bottleneck

Precision oncology is slow to reach the patient who needs it

Molecular profiling exists — but the path from biopsy to an actionable, mutation-informed treatment plan is long, costly and concentrated in a handful of metro labs. DocLane compresses that path without replacing the pathologist or the sequencing lab.

The Hypothesis

Can tumour morphology predict genomics?

Specific somatic mutations alter tumour cellular architecture, glandular patterns, nuclear morphology and stromal composition in measurable ways.

Deep learning models trained on thousands of H&E whole-slide images can learn these subtle morphological correlates and predict the underlying genomic alteration — without additional molecular testing.

Why validation on Indian cohorts

A model trained on Western data doesn't automatically generalize to Indian patients

Prov-GigaPath and comparable pathology foundation models are trained predominantly on Western cohorts. Genetic architecture, disease biology, tissue-processing protocols and scanner characteristics all differ in Indian clinical settings — which is exactly what our validation study is built to test.

Population-specific biology

Tumor genomics, mutation prevalence and disease presentation in Indian cancer cohorts differ meaningfully from the Western datasets most foundation models are trained on.

Lab & scanner variability

Staining protocols, tissue processing and digital scanner hardware vary widely across Indian pathology labs, all of which can shift how an AI model reads a slide.

Access beyond metros

Genomic testing is concentrated in a few metropolitan labs. Independent, India-specific validation is the prerequisite for responsibly extending AI-assisted insight to Tier-2 and Tier-3 hospitals.

Multimodal AI platform

Phase 1 validation snapshot

A phased, hospital-partnered validation roadmap

Phase 1 is a retrospective and prospective feasibility study testing whether Prov-GigaPath-derived features predict known genomic mutations from H&E slides already collected at partner sites — benchmarked directly against existing NGS results.
