Abstract

BACKGROUND: According to current guideline, patients with resected specimens showing high-risk features are recommended additional surgery after local excision (LE) of T1 colorectal cancer, despite the low incidence of recurrence. However, surgical resection in patients with low rectal cancer (RC) is challenging and may compromise anal function, leading to a low quality of life. To reduce unnecessary surgical resection in these patients, we used artificial intelligence (AI) to develop and validate a prediction model for the risk of recurrence after LE.
