Necessity of image-enhanced endoscopy for detecting colorectal lesions

Artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis of early gastric cancer: present practice and future prospects

Gastric cancer (GC) occupies the first few places in the world among tumors in terms of incidence and mortality, causing serious harm to human health, and at the same time, its treatment greatly consumes the health care resources of all countries in the world. The diagnosis of GC is usually based on histopathologic examination, and it is very important to be able to detect and identify cancerous lesions at an early stage, but some endoscopists' lack of diagnostic experience and fatigue at work lead to a certain rate of under diagnosis. The rapid and striking development of Artificial intelligence (AI) has helped to enhance the ability to extract abnormal information from endoscopic images to some extent, and more and more researchers are applying AI technology to the diagnosis of GC. This initiative has not only improved the detection rate of early gastric cancer (EGC), but also significantly improved the survival rate of patients after treatment. This article reviews the results of various AI-assisted diagnoses of EGC in recent years, including the identification of EGC, the determination of differentiation type and invasion depth, and the identification of borders. Although AI has a better application prospect in the early diagnosis of ECG, there are still major challenges, and the prospects and limitations of AI application need to be further discussed.

Emerging Technologies in Endoscopy for Gastrointestinal Neoplasms: A Comprehensive Overview

Gastrointestinal neoplasms are a growing global health concern, requiring prompt identification and treatment. Endoscopic procedures have revolutionized the detection and treatment of gastrointestinal tumors by providing accurate, minimally invasive methods. Early-stage malignancies can be treated with endoscopic excision, leading to improved outcomes and increased survival rates. Precancerous lesions, like adenomatous polyps, can be prevented by removing them, reducing cancer occurrence and death rates. Advanced techniques like chromoendoscopy, narrow-band imaging, and confocal laser endomicroscopy improve the ability to see the mucosa surface and diagnose conditions. Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in endoscopy can enhance diagnostic accuracy and predict histology outcomes. However, challenges remain in accurately defining lesions and ensuring precise diagnosis and treatment selection. Molecular imaging approaches and therapeutic modalities like photodynamic therapy and endoscopic ultrasonography-guided therapies hold potential but require further study and clinical confirmation. This study examines the future prospects and obstacles in endoscopic procedures for the timely identification and treatment of gastrointestinal cancers. The focus is on developing technology, limits, and prospective effects on clinical practice.

Application of artificial intelligence in endoscopic gastrointestinal tumors

With an increasing number of patients with gastrointestinal cancer, effective and accurate early diagnostic clinical tools are required provide better health care for patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Recent studies have shown that artificial intelligence (AI) plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with gastrointestinal tumors, which not only improves the efficiency of early tumor screening, but also significantly improves the survival rate of patients after treatment. With the aid of efficient learning and judgment abilities of AI, endoscopists can improve the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment through endoscopy and avoid incorrect descriptions or judgments of gastrointestinal lesions. The present article provides an overview of the application status of various artificial intelligence in gastric and colorectal cancers in recent years, and the direction of future research and clinical practice is clarified from a clinical perspective to provide a comprehensive theoretical basis for AI as a promising diagnostic and therapeutic tool for gastrointestinal cancer.
