Deep learning transforms colorectal cancer biomarker prediction from histopathology images

Abstract

<p>Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly gaining interest in medicine, including pathological assessments for personalized medicine. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Wagner et al. demonstrate superior accuracy of transformer-based deep learning in predicting biomarker status in CRC. The work has implications for increased efficiency and accuracy in clinical diagnostics guiding treatment decisions in precision oncology.</p>
