Abstract
China is a country with high incidence of esophageal cancer. Advanced esophageal cancer not only brings serious threat to the health of patients, but also brings heavy economic burden to their families and society. Early diagnosis and treatment of esophageal cancer are always the hot spot in clinical research, and gastroscopy screening is the key point. The development of artificial intelligence is expected to provide new mean for early diagnosis and treatment of esophageal cancer in the aspects of endoscopy procedure and quality control.Through a brief overview of the concept and development of artificial intelligence in endoscopic diagnosis of superficial esophageal cancer, this study summarizes and reviews the research progress of artificial intelligence in the diagnosis of superficial esophageal carcinoma, and illustrates the importance of its application. This study also discusses the main problems and difficulties of artificial intelligence in the endoscopic diagnosis of esophageal carcinoma. It prospects the application of artificial intelligence in endoscopic esophageal diagnosis in the future.
