Sa1257 SPECIALIST-LEVEL DIAGNOSTIC ACCURACY FOR CANCER INVASION DEPTH OF SUPERFICIAL ESOPHAGEAL SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA WITH CONVENTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK

Esophageal cancer is common cancer and common cause of cancer-related death. Although the incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma is increasing rapidly in Europe and North America, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) remains the most common tumor type. Cancer invasion depth is a critical factor affecting the choice of treatment in patients with superficial SCC. However, the diagnosis of invasion depth is currently subjective and liable to inter-observer variability. A potential solution to mitigate the variability and complexity associated with diagnosing cancer invasion depth involves the application of computerized image analysis, to deliver computer decision support solutions.
