Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Colorectal cancer has become the third most common cancer worldwide, accounting for approximately 10% of cancer patients. Early detection of the disease is important for the treatment of colorectal cancer patients. Histopathological examination is the gold standard for screening colorectal cancer. However, the current lack of histopathological image datasets of colorectal cancer, especially enteroscope biopsies, hinders the accurate evaluation of computer-aided diagnosis techniques. Therefore, a multi-category colorectal cancer dataset is needed to test various medical image classification methods to find high classification accuracy and strong robustness.
