Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: According to guidelines, endoscopic resection should only be performed for patients whose early gastric cancer invasion depth is within the mucosa or submucosa of the stomach regardless of lymph node involvement. The accurate prediction of invasion depth based on endoscopic images is crucial for screening patients for endoscopic resection. We constructed a convolutional neural network computer-aided detection (CNN-CAD) system based on endoscopic images to determine invasion depth and screen patients for endoscopic resection.
