Abstract

BACKGROUND: For locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), accurate response evaluation is necessary to select complete responders after neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) for a watch-and-wait (W&W) strategy. Algorithms based on deep learning have shown great value in medical image analyses. Here we used deep learning algorithms of endoscopic images for the assessment of NAT response in LARC.
