Objective:To evaluate the ability of ENDOANGEL artificial intelligence system to predict invasion depth and differentiation status of early gastric cancer using more diverse multi-center videos, and to test the performance of the new system upgraded from ENDOANGEL.Methods:Based on the completed 2020 man-machine competition for early gastric cancer diagnosis using single-center videos, the second man-machine competition was conducted in 2022, involving 30 endoscopists from 30 hospitals across 10 Chinese provinces. A multi-center video cohort was retrospectively collected from 12 institutions in 8 provinces/municipalities in China. The study proceeded in 3 stages. First, the ENDOANGEL was re-tested on multi-center videos, its performance on single and multi-center videos was compared, then the ENDOANGEL was upgraded to ENDOANGEL-2022. Second, the second man-machine competition was conducted between ENDOANGEL-2022 and 30 endoscopists using multi-center videos, and the performance between ENDOANGEL-2022, ENDOANGEL and endoscopists on multi-center videos were compared. Third, the ENDOANGEL-2022 was re-tested on the single-center videos previously collected in 2020, its performance on single and multi-center videos was also compared.Results:Compared with the performance on single-center videos, the sensitivity of ENDOANGEL for predicting submucosal invasion of early gastric cancer decreased significantly [18.18% (2/11) VS 70.00% (7/10), P=0.030], but demonstrated comparable ability to predict undifferentiated type of early gastric cancer ( P>0.05). On multi-center videos, in the respect of predicting submucosal invasion of early gastric cancer, the sensitivity of ENDOANGEL-2022 was higher than that of ENDOANGEL [40.00% (4/10) VS 18.18% (2/11), P=0.361], but inferior to that of 30 endoscopists [40.00% VS 52.04% (95% CI: 43.70%-60.38%), P<0.001]. The specificity of ENDOANGEL-2022 was lower than that of ENDOANGEL [82.86% (29/35) VS 100.00% (34/34), χ2=4.41, P=0.036] and higher than that of 30 endoscopists [82.86% VS 68.97% (95% CI: 60.83%-77.11%), P=0.018], the accuracy of ENDOANGEL-2022 was lower than that of ENDOANGEL [73.33% (33/45) VS 80.00% (36/45), χ2=0.56, P=0.455] and higher than that of 30 endoscopists [73.33% VS 65.30% (95% CI: 60.61%-69.99%), P=0.018]. In the respect of predicting undifferentiated type of early gastric cancer, the sensitivity of ENDOANGEL-2022 was higher than that of ENDOANGEL [71.43% (5/7) VS 57.14% (4/7), P>0.999] and 30 endoscopists [71.43% VS 63.11% (95% CI: 55.58%-70.64%), P=0.031], the specificity of ENDOANGEL-2022 was lower than that of ENDOANGEL [76.32% (29/38) VS 78.95% (30/38), χ2=0.08, P=0.783] and higher than that of 30 endoscopists [76.32% VS 65.27% (95% CI: 59.10%-71.44%), P=0.004],the accuracy of ENDOANGEL-2022 was similar to that of ENDOANGEL [75.56% (34/45) VS 75.56% (34/45), χ2=0.00, P>0.999] and higher than that of 30 endoscopists [75.56% VS 65.10% (95% CI: 59.96%- 70.24%), P<0.001]. Compared with performance in single center videos, the sensitivity [40.00% VS 60.00%(6/10), P=0.656], specificity [82.86% VS 93.75% (15/16), χ2=0.37, P=0.542] and accuracy [73.33% VS 80.77% (21/26), χ2=0.50, P=0.479] of ENDOANGEL-2022 for predicting submucosal invasion of early gastric cancer decreased; in predicting undifferentiated type of early gastric cancer, the sensitivity of ENDOANGEL-2022 increased [71.43% VS 37.50% (3/8), P=0.315], while the specificity [76.32% VS 100.00% (18/18), χ2=3.48, P=0.062] and accuracy [75.56% VS 80.77% (21/26), χ2=0.26, P=0.612] decreased. Conclusion:Multi-center cases introduce greater heterogeneity that may reduce artificial intelligence prediction accuracy, but the artificial intelligence system still outperforms endoscopists.

Neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced colorectal cancer has made great progress in the past 20 years, but there are still limitations such as side effects, organ dysfunction and unsatisfactory control of metastasis. In recent years, with the improvement of surgical techniques and further development of molecular research, how to further improve local control, reduce distant metastasis, and even avoid surgery according to clinical remission to achieve organ preservation, is the current demand and research goal. With the advancement of molecular research, colorectal cancer has different treatment strategies based on microsatellite status. For patients with microsatellite instability locally advanced colorectal cancer, immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy significantly increased the pathologic complete response rate, reduced the incidence of adverse events and improved organ function compared with conventional chemoradiotherapy. For patients with microsatellite stable locally advanced colon cancer, neoadjuvant therapy is still in the exploratory stage. The standard of care is surgery combined with perioperative chemotherapy. For microsatellite stable locally advanced rectal cancer, the complete response rate is improved by enhancing neoadjuvant therapy, which helps to preserve organs. On the other hand, selective radiotherapy preserves organ function and improves quality of life. This article reviews the neoadjuvant treatment strategies for locally advanced colorectal cancer based on organ-sparing strategies.
