INTRODUCTION sia is becoming increasingly recognized, but its natural history

Colorectal cancer serves as a genetic and biological paradigm
for the development of solid tumours, and these findings shed
light on the principles of early detection, risk stratification, pre-
vention, and treatment. Cancer framework features are used
to explore how genetic alterations in colorectal cancer affect
the biological properties of cancer cells and shape heterotypic
interactions between cells within the tumour microenviron-
ment. It provides a conceptual framework for understanding.
This review describes research advances relevant to colorec-
tal cancer genetics and biology, new concepts gleaned from
immune and single-cell profiling, key advances and remaining
knowledge gaps. Colorectal cancer is the third most common
cancer worldwide, with an estimated 1.8 million new cases and
approximately 881,000 deaths worldwide in 2018, making it
the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. There are
many causes. The epidemiology of CRC varies greatly by region
of the world. Across different age groups, genders and racial
groups. Several factors contribute to this variability, including
exposure to risk factors, genetic susceptibility as well as demo-
graphic variation, genetic mutations and their impact on prog-
nosis and response to therapy.
DESCRIPTION
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease are at increased risk
of developing colorectal cancer, although the incidence of CRC
has decreased in recent years. Chronic inflammation is a driving
force in neoplastic progression, resulting in dysplastic precursor
lesions that can occur in multiple regions of the colon through
the process of field malignant transformation. Colitis-associat-
ed CRC shares many molecular similarities with sporadic CRC,
and preclinical studies have implicated the microbiome in in-
teracting with the host immune system in the development of
colitis-associated colorectal cancer. Potential roles are indicat-
ed. Several unique molecular differences exist in his CAC, but
their role in inflammation-associated cancer pathogenesis and
behaviour remains to be elucidated. Nonconventional dyspla-
is ill-defined and not included in surveillance algorithms. The
concept of cumulative burden of inflammation highlights the
importance of considering histologic inflammation over time as
an important risk factor for CAC. Dysplasia is arguably the most
important risk factor for developing CAC, and advances have
been made in endoscopic detection and removal of premalig-
nant lesions, thereby delaying or avoiding surgical resection.
Some of the drugs used to treat IBD are chemopreventive. Bet-
ter control of underlying inflammation with new drugs, better
endoscopic detection and treatment, more sophisticated as-
sessment of clinico pathological risk factors, and colitis-associ-
ated tumours, the genetics and immunologicals of colitis, and
through increased awareness of environmental causes, asso-
ciated colorectal tumours will become more predictable and
controllable in the coming years.
CONCLUSION
The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms has
penetrated the medical field with great success. The prolifera-
tion of AI technology in the diagnosis and treatment of various
types of cancer, especially Colorectal Cancer (CRC), is now a hot
topic. CRC is his third most commonly diagnosed malignancy in
both men and women and is recognized as the leading cause
of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The review here aims to
provide detailed knowledge and analysis of AI applications
in screening, diagnosis, and treatment of CRC, based on the
current literature. We are also investigating the role of recent
advances in AI systems related to medical diagnosis and treat-
ment, with some promising results. CRC is a highly accurate-
ly preventable disease, and AI-assisted technology in routine
screening represents an important step in reducing the inci-
dence of this malignant disease. To this end, computer-assisted
detection and characterization systems are being developed.
Moreover, CRC treatment is entering a new era with robotic
surgery and new computer-assisted drug delivery techniques.
At the same time, healthcare is rapidly moving towards preci-
sion or personalized medicine.
