Abstract

BACKGROUND: Studies correlating specific genetic mutations and treatment response are ongoing to establish an effective treatment strategy for gastric cancer (GC). To facilitate this research, a cost- and time-effective method to analyze the mutational status is necessary. Deep learning (DL) has been successfully applied to analyze hematoxylin and eosin (H and E)-stained tissue slide images.
