Abstract

OBJECTIVES: The prognosis for pharyngeal cancer is relatively poor. It is usually diagnosed in an advanced stage. Although the recent development of narrow-band imaging (NBI) and increased awareness among endoscopists have enabled detection of superficial pharyngeal cancer, these techniques are still not prevalent worldwide. Nevertheless, artificial intelligence (AI)-based deep learning has led to significant advancements in various medical fields. Here, we demonstrate the diagnostic ability of AI-based detection of pharyngeal cancer from endoscopic images in esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
