    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the deployment of telehealth services in many countries around the world. It also revealed many barriers and challenges to the use of digital health technologies in health organisations and systems that have persisted for decades. One of these barriers is what is known as the 'wrong pocket' problem - where an organisation or sector makes expenditures and investments to address a given problem, but the benefits (return on investment) are captured by another organisation or sector (the wrong pocket). This problem is the origin of many difficulties in public policies and programmes (e.g. education, environment, justice and public health), especially in terms of sustainability and scaling-up of technology and innovation. In this essay/perspective, we address the wrong pocket problem in the context of a major telehealth project in Canada. We show how the problem of sharing investments and expenses, as well as the redistribution of economies among the different stakeholders involved, may have threatened the sustainability and scaling-up of this project, even though it has demonstrated the clinical utility and contributed to improving the health of populations. In conclusion, the wrong pocket problem may be decisive in the reduced take-up, and potential failure, of certain telehealth programmes and policies. It is not enough for a telehealth service to be clinically relevant and 'efficient', it must also be mutually beneficial to the various stakeholders involved, particularly in terms of the equitable sharing of costs and benefits (return on investment) associated with the implementation of this new service model. Finally, the wrong pocket concept offers a helpful lens for studying the success, sustainability, and scale-up of digital transformations in health organisations and systems. This needs to be considered in future research and evaluations in the field.

    Abstract Objective: The accuracy of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine and in pathology in particular has made major progress but little is known on how much these algorithms will influence pathologists' decisions in practice. The objective of this paper is to determine the reliance of pathologists on AI and to investigate whether providing information on AI impacts this reliance.
    Materials and methods: The experiment using an online survey design. Under 3 conditions, 116 pathologists and pathology students were tasked with assessing the Gleason grade for a series of 12 prostate biopsies: (1) without AI recommendations, (2) with AI recommendations, and (3) with AI recommendations accompanied by information about the algorithm itself, specifically algorithm accuracy rate and algorithm decision-making process.
    Results: Participant responses were significantly more accurate with the AI decision aids than without (92% vs 87%, odds ratio 13.30, P < .01). Unexpectedly, the provision of information on the algorithm made no significant difference compared to AI without information. The reliance on AI correlated with general beliefs on AI's usefulness but not with particular assessments of the AI tool offered. Decisions were made faster when AI was provided.
    Discussion: These results suggest that pathologists are willing to rely on AI regardless of accuracy or explanations. Generalization beyond the specific tasks and explanations provided will require further studies.
    Conclusion: This study suggests that the factors that influence the reliance on AI differ in practice from beliefs expressed by clinicians in surveys. Implementation of AI in prospective settings should take individual behaviors into account.

    Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) 5-tier grade grouping (GG) system of prostate cancers as well as previously proposed optimizations.
    Patients and methods: The PROCURE biobank is a prospective cohort study of patients with localized prostate cancer who underwent radical prostatectomy in Quebec province between 2005 and 2013. Surgical specimens were graded by experienced genitourinary pathologists using 2019 ISUP criteria. Follow-up was conducted until November 2021. The current 5-tier and a proposed 6-tier GG system were evaluated, the latter having two changes: 1) Gleason 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 tumors with minor/tertiary Gleason 5 patterns were upgraded to GG 3 and 4, respectively; and 2) patients in GG5 were separated based on primary Gleason pattern (4 or 5). Cox proportional hazards models and Harrell's concordance (C) indices were used for statistical analyses.
    Results: 2003 patients were included (median follow-up: 8.7 years). The current 5-tier GG system predicted time to recurrence (hazard ratio [HR] 2.12, 95% confidence interval [95%CI] 1.99-2.25, C 0.717), androgen-deprivation therapy (HR 2.58, 95%CI 2.38-2.80, C 0.790), metastasis (HR 2.48, 95%CI 2.17-2.83, C 0.806), castration-resistant prostate cancer (HR 2.67, 95%CI 2.28-3.13, C 0.829), and cancer-specific mortality (HR 2.80, 95%CI 2.27-3.44, C 0.835). Goodness-of-fit further improved with the proposed 6-tier GG system, with Harrell's C of 0.733, 0.807, 0.827, 0.853, and 0.853, respectively.
    Conclusions: The 5-tier GG system predicted short- and long-term outcomes for patients with localized prostate cancer, and the proposed 6-tier GG system further improved its accuracy.

    Abstract Urine cytology is the most widely used noninvasive test to detect urothelial tumors. However, it is limited by its low sensitivity. On the other hand, cystoscopy is the gold standard procedure to follow patients with a history of bladder cancer but this test is invasive and costly. Therefore, there is a real need to develop new tests that can be used in bladder cancer surveillance. Several soluble and cell-based markers have been developed and most of them improve the sensitivity of cytology but the specificity is invariably decreased. Of the cell-based tests, two obtained Food and Drug Administration approval. ImmunoCyt/uCyt is a fluorescent test that uses three monoclonal antibodies and UroVysion is an in situ hybridization test, which uses four different probes to different chromosomes. Both tests have a high sensitivity to detect cancer cells and can help to predict urothelial cancer recurrence. ImmunoCyt/uCyt is somewhat better at detecting low-grade tumors but UroVysion is not affected by prior BCG treatment. However, both tests use fluorescent dyes, are time-consuming and require trained personnel. Because of their high negative predictive value, both tests may help the urologist to postpone a number of cystoscopies, especially in patients with low-risk urothelial cancer.

    Abstract Maximal androgen blockade (MAB), combining a luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist and a pure or non-steroidal anti-androgen, induces significant morphologic changes in the prostate. The tumor volume, density, capsular penetration, and surgical margin involvement are strongly reduced following such treatment. On histology, normal prostate tissue and tumor undergo marked atrophy and shrinkage. Although residual cancer cells are readily identifiable in most cases, they may often be sparse and easily overlooked. The increased Gleason score apparent after MAB is most likely related to fragmentation of acinar structures, and grading is not recommended following MAB. Residual cancer cells show features of lower activity and increased apoptosis. Such therapy-induced changes may be reversible, although occasional clones of cancer cells are apparently not affected and have probably developed resistance. Finally, MAB leads to marked but reversible morphologic changes and reduction in prevalence and extent of prostatic intra-epithelial neoplasia (PIN). Monotherapy using a variety of agents causes comparable but often less extensive changes.

    Abstract Intraductal carcinoma of the prostate (IDC-P) is an aggressive histological subtype of prostate cancer (PCa) detected in approximately 20% of radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens. As IDC-P has been associated with PCa-related death and poor responses to standard treatment, the purpose of this study was to explore the immune infiltrate of IDC-P. Hematoxylin- and eosin-stained slides from 96 patients with locally advanced PCa who underwent RP were reviewed to identify IDC-P. Immunohistochemical staining of CD3, CD8, CD45RO, FoxP3, CD68, CD163, CD209 and CD83 was performed. For each slide, the number of positive cells per mm

    Abstract Introduction: Prostate cancer (PCa) shows considerable variation in clinical outcomes between individuals with similar diseases. The initial host-tumor interaction as assessed by detailed analysis of tumor infiltrating immune cells within the primary tumor may dictate tumor evolution and late clinical outcomes. In this study, we assessed the association between clinical outcomes and dendritic cell (DC) or macrophage (MΦ) tumor infiltration as well as with expression of genes related to their functions.
    Methods: Infiltration and localization of immature DC, mature DC, total MΦ and M2-type MΦ was analyzed by immunohistochemistry in 99 radical prostatectomy specimens from patients with 15.5 years median clinical follow-up using antibodies against CD209, CD83, CD68 and CD163, respectively. The density of positive cells for each marker in various tumor areas was determined. In addition, expression of immune genes associated with DC and MΦ was tested in a series of 50 radical prostatectomy specimens by Taqman Low-Density Array with similarly long follow-up. Gene expression was classified as low and high after unsupervised hierarchical clustering. Numbers and ratio of positive cells and levels of gene expression were correlated with endpoints such as biochemical recurrence (BCR), need for definitive androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) or lethal PCa using Cox regression analyses and/or Kaplan-Meier curves.
    Results: Positive immune cells were observed in tumor, tumor margin, and normal-like adjacent epithelium areas. CD209
    Conclusion: A higher level of infiltration of CD209
