Description
Summary:Abstract Gastrointestinal (GI) tumors have always been a major type of malignant tumor and a leading cause of tumor‐related deaths worldwide. The main principles of modern medicine for GI tumors are early prevention, early diagnosis, and early treatment, with early diagnosis being the most effective measure. Endoscopy, due to its ability to visualize lesions, has been one of the primary modalities for screening, diagnosing, and treating GI tumors. However, a qualified endoscopist often requires long training and extensive experience, which to some extent limits the wider use of endoscopy. With advances in data science, artificial intelligence (AI) has brought a new development direction for the endoscopy of GI tumors. AI can quickly process large quantities of data and images and improve diagnostic accuracy with some training, greatly reducing the workload of endoscopists and assisting them in early diagnosis. Therefore, this review focuses on the combined application of endoscopy and AI in GI tumors in recent years, describing the latest research progress on the main types of tumors and their performance in clinical trials, the application of multimodal AI in endoscopy, the development of endoscopy, and the potential applications of AI within it, with the aim of providing a reference for subsequent research.
