Background:
Colorectal cancer is one of the top three cancers afflicting men and women worldwide, with an estimated 1.8 million people diagnosed in 2018. As colonoscopies become more accessible and affordable, colorectal biopsies account for a great part of the histopathology laboratory workload. Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises to streamline workflow, and improve cancer detection and classification; enabling busy pathologists to focus on higher order decision-making tasks. We trained and validated a unique AI deep learning model as an assistive tool to screen for colonic malignancies in colorectal specimens.
