Dr Yuri Tolkach - University Hospital Cologne

In my talk I will cover how deep learning can be used for creation of diagnostic and prognostic algorithms for two types of GI cancers: oesophageal cancer and colorectal cancer. I will present information from three of our recent studies that show that AI-based algorithms can be seen as powerful assisting tools that allow for more precise diagnosis, creation of new and revision of old morphology-based prognostic parameters, and for saving pathologists' time on routine task automatization.
