Gastric cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Despite the great progress in the diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer, the incidence and mortality rate of the disease in China are still relatively high. The high mortality rate of gastric cancer may be related to its low early diagnosis rate and poor prognosis. Much research has been focused on improving the sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tools for gastric cancer, in order to more accurately predict the survival times of gastric cancer patients. Taking appropriate treatment measures is the key to reducing the mortality rate of gastric cancer. In the past decade, artificial intelligence technology has been applied to various fields of medicine as a branch of computer science. This article discusses the application and research status of artificial intelligence in gastric cancer diagnosis and survival prediction.
