Intelligent diagnosis value of preoperative T staging of colorectal cancer based on MR medical imaging

Colorectal cancer is a common malignant tumor in clinic. With the change of people's diet, living environment and living habits, the incidence of colorectal cancer has risen sharply in recent years, which poses a great threat to people's health and quality of life. This paper aims to investigate the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer and improve the efficiency of clinical diagnosis and treatment. This paper firstly introduces MR Medical imaging technology and related theories of colorectal cancer through literature survey, and then applies MR technology to preoperative T staging of colorectal cancer. 150 patients with colorectal cancer admitted to our hospital every month from January 2019 to January 2020 were used as research objects to carry out the application experiment of MR Medical imaging in the intelligent diagnosis of preoperative T staging of colorectal cancer, and to explore the diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and histopathological T staging diagnosis coincidence rate of MR Staging. The final study results showed that there was no statistical significance in the general data of stage T1-2, T3 and T4 patients (p > 0.05); for patients with preoperative T stage of colorectal cancer, the overall diagnosis coincidence rate of MR Was 89.73%, indicating that it was highly consistent with pathological T stage; compared with MR Staging, the overall diagnosis coincidence rate of CT for preoperative T staging of colorectal cancer patients was 86.73%, which was basically consistent with the diagnosis of pathological T staging. At the same time, three different dictionary learning depth techniques are proposed in this study to solve the shortcomings of long MR Scanning time and slow imaging speed. Through performance testing and comparison, it is found that the structural similarity of MR Image reconstructed by depth dictionary method based on convolutional neural network is up to 99.67%, higher than that of analytic dictionary and synthetic dictionary, which proves that it has the best optimization effect on MR Technology. The study indicated the importance of MR Medical imaging in preoperative T staging diagnosis of colorectal cancer and the necessity of its popularization.

Current challenges in the implementation of precision oncology for the management of metastatic colorectal cancer

Over the last few decades, molecularly targeted agents have been used for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. They have made remarkable contributions to prolonging the lives of patients. The emergence of several biomarkers and their introduction to the clinic have also aided in guiding such treatment. Recently, next-generation sequencing (NGS) has enabled clinicians to identify these biomarkers more easily and reliably. However, there is considerable uncertainty in interpreting and implementing the vast amount of information from NGS. The clinical relevance of biomarkers other than NGS are also subjects of debate. This review covers controversial issues and recent findings on such therapeutics and their molecular targets, including VEGF, EGFR, BRAF, HER2, RAS, actionable fusions, Wnt pathway and microsatellite instability for comprehensive understanding of obstacles on the road to precision oncology in metastatic colorectal cancer.
