The role of AI technology in prediction, diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a fascinating new technology that incorporates machine learning and neural networks to improve existing technology or create new ones. Potential applications of AI are introduced to aid in the fight against colorectal cancer (CRC). This includes how AI will affect the epidemiology of colorectal cancer and the new methods of mass information gathering like GeoAI, digital epidemiology and real-time information collection. Meanwhile, this review also examines existing tools for diagnosing disease like CT/MRI, endoscopes, genetics, and pathological assessments also benefitted greatly from implementation of deep learning. Finally, how treatment and treatment approaches to CRC can be enhanced when applying AI is under discussion. The power of AI regarding the therapeutic recommendation in colorectal cancer demonstrates much promise in clinical and translational field of oncology, which means better and personalized treatments for those in need.
