Abstract

BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is standard for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, though often ineffective. Therefore, predicting the response to chemotherapy before treatment is desirable. However, there is currently no established method for predicting response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. This study aims to build a deep-learning model to predict the response of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma to preoperative chemotherapy by utilizing multimodal data integrating esophageal endoscopic images and clinical information.
