DUGiDocsDetecting colorectal polyps in colonoscopy: What can deep learning do?
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths
in men and women, and the second most common cause of cancer deaths in
the world when men and women are combined, with nearly 1 million patients
who die every year [H.Sung 2021]. CRC is characterized by the unchecked division of abnormal cells in the colon or rectum. Most of the time it begins as
a polyp, which is a noncancerous growth that develops in the mucosal layer of
the colon or rectum. Once a polyp progresses to cancer, it can grow into the
wall of the colon or rectum where it may invade blood or lymph vessels that
carry away cellular waste and fluid (Figure 1.1). Cancer cells are then spread
to other organs and tissues, forming tumors
