The influence of AI on surgical and ablative treatments for colorectal liver metastases: a review of the current literature.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Artificial intelligence (AI) has gained increasing interest in supporting clinicians in patient selection, treatment planning, and prognostics. However, the current application of AI in the treatment of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) is not clearly established and validated. This scoping review assesses the current impact of AI techniques on local therapeutic strategies for CRLM, exploring its benefits, challenges, and future directions.

Materials and methods

A comprehensive literature search in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and SCOPUS was conducted for patients with CRLM undergoing surgery or thermal ablation, along with descriptions of AI tools. Eligible studies were cohort studies or clinical trials. Data extraction focused on treatment strategies, AI tec
