Abstract:In recent years, artificial intelligence technology based on deep learning algorithm has made remarkable progress in image recognition and has been widely used in clinical medical researches. As for early gastric cancer, the tumor is usually undetectable and is therefore difficult for endoscopists to make a diagnosis. The combination of artificial intelligence and endoscopy has been playing critical roles in the identification of chronic atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia, the diagnosis of Helicobacter Pylori infection, early gastric cancer and precancerous lesions, and the prediction of the depth of tumor invasion. This review will summarize the clinical application of artificial intelligence in early gastric cancer, discuss its existing problems and challenges, and predict its possible application prospects in the future.
