AI model accurately detects rectal tumor regrowth from endoscopy images

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel Siamese Swin Transformer with Dual Cross-Attention (SSDCA) designed to detect local regrowth of rectal tumors from endoscopic images. This model analyzes sequential images from patients undergoing watch-and-wait surveillance after neoadjuvant treatment. SSDCA demonstrated superior performance in distinguishing complete response from local regrowth, achieving an 81.76% balanced accuracy and showing robustness against common imaging artifacts. AI

IMPACT This model could improve early detection of rectal tumor regrowth, potentially enhancing patient care and outcomes in watch-and-wait surveillance protocols.

    Dual Cross-Attention Siamese Transformer for Rectal Tumor Regrowth Assessment in Watch-and-Wait Endoscopy

    arXiv:2512.03883v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Increasing evidence supports watch-and-wait (WW) surveillance for patients with rectal cancer who show clinical complete response (cCR) at restaging following total neoadjuvant treatment (TNT). However, objectively accurate meth…
