Diagnosis of Depth of Submucosal Invasion in Colorectal Cancer with AI Using Deep Learning.

ABSTRACT: The submucosal invasion depth predicts prognosis in early colorectal cancer. Although colorectal cancer with shallow submucosal invasion can be treated via endoscopic resection, colorectal cancer with deep submucosal invasion requires surgical colectomy. However, accurately diagnosing the depth of submucosal invasion via endoscopy is difficult. We developed a tool to diagnose the depth of submucosal invasion in early colorectal cancer using artificial intelligence. We reviewed data from 196 patients who had undergone a preoperative colonoscopy at the Osaka University Hospital and Osaka International Cancer Institute between 2011 and 2018 and were diagnosed pathologically as having shallow submucosal invasion or deep submucosal invasion colorectal cancer.
