Core Tip

Core Tip: Many authors have summarized artificial intelligence applications in the field of cancer. This mini-review intends to open a window on the attempts being made on the application of artificial intelligence in the scientific and clinical research of colorectal cancer by summarizing the most evident results. Our aim is not to draw definitive conclusions but to stimulate the interest of researchers in the application of these new technologies, which seem to be able to offer valuable help in the near future.
