Beyond the Slide is a space for those who believe pathology is more than a diagnosis — it’s a system, a story, a signal waiting to be decoded.

I’m Dr. Luis Cano — medical pathologist, PhD in oncology, and someone who never stopped questioning how we see, process, and act on diagnostic information. From microscope to machine learning, from histological stains to digital pipelines, this newsletter is where I share what I’ve learned — and what I’m still figuring out.

You’ll find deep reflections on digital pathology, critical reviews of tools like QuPath and HALO, discussions on AI in medicine, and essays that go beyond the technical — into how we think, how we teach, and how we shape the future of diagnostics.

If you’re here to challenge assumptions, explore better systems, and connect science to strategy… welcome. Let’s go beyond the slide — together.
