Gastrointestinal Diseases from Animals

Artificial intelligence (AI) that outperforms human capability in image recognition is expected to be applied in the field of gastrointestinal endoscopes. Hence, its research and development is being actively led. With the advancement of endoscopic diagnosis, there is a lack of experts who can perform high-precision endoscopy. Artificial intelligence (AI), explicitly deep learning, offers the possibility to upgrade the field of GI endoscopy in areas from lesion detection and classification to quality metrics and documentation. Progress in this field will be estimated by whether AI usage can improve patient results and more proficient clinical workflow for GI endoscopists. Artificial intelligence will change the field of gastroenterology, especially endoscopy and image interpretation. Fueled by cutting-edge machine learning algorithms, the utilization of computer vision in endoscopy can bring about better prediction and treatment outcomes for patients with gastroenterology disord...

Although fusions in the neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase ( NTRK ) gene are rare in gastrointestinal carcinomas (found in fewer than 5% of cases), they should be looked for, inasmuch as treatment with the TRK inhibitor entrectinib ( Rozlytrek , Genentech/Roche) can achieve robust and durable responses, say researchers. This point was made during several presentations at the virtual World Conference on Gastrointestinal Cancer (WCGC) 2020 on July 1. Entrectinib and similar agents that act on NTRK fusion genes are described as tumor agnostic, in that they are biomarkers that define the cancer rather than the organ of origin. The US Food and Drug Administration last year granted accelerated approval of entrectinib for patients with locally advanced or metastatic NTRK-expressing solid tumors that have progressed following prior therapies. The drug can also be used as a first-line treatment when there are no effective therapies. At the meeting, Manish R. Patel, MD, Department of ...
