Abstract
BACKGROUND: Tumour-stroma interactions, as indicated by tumour-stroma ratio (TSR), offer valuable prognostic stratification information. Current histological assessment of TSR is limited by tissue accessibility and spatial heterogeneity. The authors aimed to develop a multitask deep learning (MDL) model to noninvasively predict TSR and prognosis in colorectal cancer (CRC).
