Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Adjuvant chemotherapy is recommended as standard treatment for colorectal cancer (CRC) with stage III according to TNM stage. However, outcomes are varied even among patients receiving similar treatments. We aimed to develop a prognostic signature to stratify outcomes and benefit from different chemotherapy regimens by analyzing whole slide images (WSI) using deep learning.
