- Esophageal cancer has a poor outlook and requires a team-based approach for diagnosis and treatment, utilizing advanced methods like high-definition endoscopy and pathology confirmation for accurate diagnosis.
- * Recent advancements in artificial intelligence, specifically deep learning, show promise in aiding endoscopists by improving accuracy in detecting pre-cancerous conditions and minimizing unnecessary procedures.
- * This manuscript reviews recent studies on deep learning in esophageal cancer management and provides guidance for clinicians on its application, evaluation metrics, and limitations in image analysis.
Ampullary tumors occur rarely, and the only curative treatment is resection. The endoscopic approach is the most well-known and common treatment of choice. Open surgical resection is the usual treatment of choice in cases of unsuccessful endoscopic resection and big tumors.
