[ Summary ] Ultra-magnifying endoscopy (endocytoscopy) can provide accurate histopathological predictions by evaluating in vivo cellular atypia. It is effective not only for differentiating between neoplastic and nonneoplastic lesions, but also for predicting the invasive depth of colorectal cancer. After the emergence of deep learning in machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI) has gradually been implemented in clinical practice. Currently, in Japan, AI software for colonoscopy is approved by the government and can be used in clinical practice. In this review, we discuss the efficacy of endocytoscopy and AI for treating depressed-type colorectal cancer.
