JAMA Network Open: Chinese scientists have developed a new deep learning technique that promises to successfully predict hidden peritometrial metastasis in patients with stomach cancer!

January 11, 2021 // -- Stomach cancer is a common gastrointestinal malignancies that often occur in most patients with advanced stomach cancer, which is considered an invasive cancer and often has a poor prognosis.
patients with peritina metastasis for stomach cancer are generally not suitable for root-and-drug surgery;
recently, scientists from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and others published a study in the international journal JAMA Network Open entitled "Noninvasive Prediction of Occult Peritoneal Metastasis in GasTric Using Deep Learning" Research has developed a deep learning technique to help predict hidden peritioral metastasis in patients with stomach cancer, and in this article, researchers offer a new and non-invasive way to diagnose gastric cancer patients, with the results promising to help develop individualized surgical treatments for gastric cancer patients.

, co-author of this paper, explains that this deep learning model may serve as a reliable non-invasive tool for early diagnosis of clinically early-stage hidden peritometrial metastasis patients.
, the researchers said the findings of this paper may help us develop new types of individualized preoperative treatment decisions and may avoid unnecessary surgery and patient complications.
later this year, researchers will continue to conduct more in-depth studies to optimize current learning models to more effectively predict peritometrial metastasis in patients with stomach cancer.
