Current state of the art computational pathology foundation models attain satisfying accuracy most general pathology tasks including detection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) but fail to provide sufficient explainability, operating as "black boxes". Some interpretability effort has been made, with models providing attention maps that project back on the slide the models high attended areas that pushed for the given prediction result, without further naming or reasoning explanation which can limit pathologists trust toward the prediction. We developed C3PRO, a cell-centric framework
