Abstract

PURPOSE: Most of Stage II/III colorectal cancer (CRC) patients can be cured by surgery alone, and only certain CRC patients benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy. Risk stratification based on deep-learning from haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) images has been postulated as a potential predictive biomarker for benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy. However, very limited success has been achieved in using biomarkers, including deep-learning-based markers, to facilitate the decision for adjuvant chemotherapy despite recent advances of artificial intelligence.
