Core Tip
Core Tip: This review outlines the potential of artificial intelligence applications for evaluating pathological parameters related to the behavior of gastrointestinal cancers. The role of these methods in determining the behavior of esophageal cancers remains to be investigated. On the other hand, the results are promising, supporting that these models can assist in the determination of conventional pathological parameters and perform molecular subtyping in gastric and colorectal cancers. Furthermore, these applications encourage digital prognostic biomarker discovery by revealing predictions that are impossible when using traditional visual methods. However, further studies are needed to overcome the obstacles to implementing these applications into pathology practice.
