PathAI and A.C.Camargo Cancer Center Announce Cooperation to Expand Digital Pathology with AI in Brazil via SUS

Collaboration supports national digital pathology transformation initiatives and broadens access to AI-enabled oncological diagnostics

BOSTON and SÃO PAULO, May 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PathAI, a global leader in AI-powered digital pathology solutions, and A.C.Camargo Cancer Center, a national benchmark in oncological treatment, education, and research, are joining forces strategically to support the adoption of digital and AI-enabled pathology across Brazil. The collaboration reinforces the country's national efforts to modernize oncological diagnostics and strengthens PathAI's growing presence in the region.

A.C.Camargo Cancer Center, beyond its role as a high-complexity care center, plays a strategic role in social impact by integrating structural initiatives in partnership with the Ministry of Health, such as PROADI-SUS. In this context, it leads the Super Cancer Diagnostic Center of Brazil, an initiative under the Agora Tem Especialistas (Now There Are Specialists) program of the Brazilian Government, aimed at expanding access to high-quality oncological diagnostics, reducing regional inequalities, and strengthening the diagnostic capacity of the public health system.

Within the scope of the program, the Ministry of Health is structuring an integrated national diagnostic network using telemedicine and digital pathology — a significant advancement in the efficiency and speed of diagnosis within the public health network. As part of this, the digital pathology transformation will be implemented across a network of regional laboratories, enabling the storage, analysis, and sharing of samples with professionals anywhere in the country. This contributes to ensuring greater agility and security, while also reducing regional inequalities in access to diagnostics.

AISight®¹ will serve as the primary digital pathology solution for evaluation in this distributed workflow, supporting high-volume case review, quality control, and AI-assisted analysis. The deployment includes a suite of artificial intelligence applications designed to improve operational efficiency and enhance report consistency. This partnership contributes to broader objectives of expanding access to high-quality services, strengthening the efficiency of pathology laboratories, and enabling a scalable digital infrastructure aligned with regulatory and public health priorities. By combining regional digitization with centralized expert review, the model helps address workforce constraints, reduce regional disparities, and meet growing demand, while creating a foundation for long-term clinical, operational, and research impact.

“This partnership with A.C.Camargo represents a significant milestone in our commitment to Brazil and the broader South American region,” said Nick Brown, Chief Growth Officer of PathAI. “By supporting a nationally significant cancer center and government-aligned initiatives, we’re helping build a scalable, sustainable digital pathology ecosystem that benefits patients, pathology laboratories, academic medical centers, and healthcare authorities alike.”

With the advancement of digital pathology, it becomes possible to overcome geographical barriers and broaden access to specialized diagnostic expertise in anatomical pathology. "The digitization of biopsy slides allows images to be shared and analyzed remotely by specialists, regardless of location. Given this, the initiative aims to expand access to high-quality diagnostics, support services with limited specialist availability, and help reduce inequalities in cancer diagnosis in Brazil," says Louise De Brot, Head of Anatomical Pathology and Genomics at A.C.Camargo Cancer Center.
