Abstract

Colorectal cancer is the most common malignant tumor of digestive tract, and the incidence of colorectal cancer in China is especially characterized by middle and low rectal cancer. In recent years, with the progress of computer science, artificial intelligence technology has developed rapidly, and has achieved a lot of application results in the medical field. At present, artificial intelligence technology has covered various stages of colorectal cancer, including screening, individualized assessment, auxiliary diagnosis and treatment decision-making, refined surgery and prognosis judgment, providing help for the accurate and individualized treatment of rectal cancer. However, the lack of standardized, systematic, and scalable AI models remains a major pain point for the field. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out large-scale prospective clinical studies on artificial intelligence model to further confirm its application value in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of rectal cancer.
