Abstract
BACKGROUND: Detecting pathological complete response (pCR) preoperatively facilitated a non-surgical approach after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). We previously developed a deep neural network-based endoscopic evaluation to determine pCR preoperatively. Its quality warrants improvement with a larger data series for clinical application.
