Core Tip
Core Tip: Hong et al developed a predictive scoring system that uses machine learning techniques including LASSO regression, random forests, and artificial neural networks to assess complications following laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Their model, which was validated using data from multiple centers, showed high diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity, particularly with the random forest method. This innovative artificial intelligence-driven approach enhances surgical safety, reduces complication risks, and offers a valuable tool for both preoperative and postoperative decision-making, particularly for less-experienced gastroenterologists managing gastric cancer cases.
