Abstract
BACKGROUND: Microsatellite instability (MSI) predetermines responses to adjuvant 5-fluorouracil and immunotherapy in rectal cancer and serves as a prognostic biomarker for clinical outcomes. Our objective was to develop and validate a deep learning model that could preoperatively predict the MSI status of rectal cancer based on magnetic resonance images.
