Peritoneal metastasis is generally considered to be the terminal stage of bowel cancer, with a poor prognosis.  At present, the diagnosis of peritoneal metastasis of colorectal cancer is mainly through imaging methods, and the sensitivity is lacking, especially for small peritoneal metastases below 5 mm.    Recently, the colorectal surgery research team of the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University and Shenzhen Tencent AIlab have cooperated and successfully developed the world's first AI platform for the diagnosis of colon cancer peritoneal metastasis, which can automatically identify the characteristics of the primary tumor. The imaging features of the tumor adjacent to the peritoneum were extracted, and an artificial intelligence-based SVM classifier was constructed.  The AI ​​model automatically recognizes and diagnoses all verified images in only 34 seconds. The accuracy is as high as 94%, the AUC is 0.922, and the sensitivity and specif...

  There has been a lot of fuss about colon cancer lately. Most recently, Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman died of a disease. Earlier, the late actor Irrfan Khan had been suffering from colon cancer for a long time. At present, many people are terrified and worried about this issue.  Let's take a short tour of the city of colon cancer today.

And at this time it absorbs ions, water, vitamins from the indigestion of food. Now the question is, if this colon is cut off, will people survive...

But how many of you know that without smoking you or your child can be at risk of health risks and complex diseases like smokers? We can refer to those who are indirectly exposed to cigarette smoke as non-smokers as ‘secondhand smokers’. With breathing, we can become secondhand smokers. In that case, about 400 chemical compounds are constantly entering our body like smokers without knowing it. Among those chemical compounds, about 50 can cause cancer. According to a study by the American Academy of Pediatrics, third-hand smokers are among us. The answer is that even if they are not in direct contact with smokers, they are staying or going to a place where someone has smoked a while ago. Smoking toxins can be found in these places. For example, in a car seat, in upholstery, in a smoker's clothes, in a smoker's body, or even in the hair, the toxic chemic...
