Abstract

In a recent paper, Hong developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven predictive scoring system for potential complications following laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer patients. They demonstrated that integrating AI with random forest models significantly improved the preoperative prediction and patient outcome management accuracy. By incorporating data from multiple centers, their model ensures standardization, reliability, and broad applicability, distinguishing it from the prior models. The present study highlights AI's potential in clinical decision support, aiding in the preoperative and postoperative management of gastric cancer patients. Our findings may pave the way for future prospective studies to further enhance AI-supported diagnoses in clinical practice.
