Deep learning model TREX predicts rectal cancer regrowth from endoscopy

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a deep learning model called TREX to predict rectal cancer regrowth from longitudinal endoscopy images. TREX utilizes a siamese network with Swin Transformers and dual cross-attention to analyze pairs of images taken at different times, distinguishing between continued response and local regrowth. The model demonstrated high accuracy in detecting regrowth and showed promise in early detection months before clinical confirmation, even matching attending-level accuracy in a surgeon survey. AI

IMPACT Introduces a novel deep learning approach for early detection of rectal cancer regrowth, potentially improving patient surveillance and outcomes.

    Prediction of Rectal Cancer Regrowth from Longitudinal Endoscopy

    Clinical trial studies indicate benefit of watch-and-wait (WW) surveillance for patients with rectal cancer showing a complete or near clinical response (CR) directly after treatment (restaging). However, there are no objectively accurate methods to early detect local tumor regro…
