Conclusion
Retrospective study Passi et al[109], 2015 DSS system DSS system used follow-up data as a knowledge source to generate appropriate follow-up recommendations for patients receiving treatment
Retrospective study Lee et al[110], 2018 Watson for Oncology Watson for Oncology could provide evidence-based treatment advice for oncologists
Retrospective study Siddiqi et al[111], 2008 MATCH system MATCH system could provide hundreds of data samples to help doctors choose the most personalized treatment plan
Retrospective study Li et al[112], 2018 Nanorobot Nanorobots were relatively safe and immune inert. DNA nanorobots might represent a strategy for precise drug delivery in cancer treatment
Experimental study Felfoul et al[113], 2016 Nanorobot The robot achieved an accurate effect of attacking cancer tumors
Review Koelzer et al[114], 2019 ML The combination of ML and computational pathology could inform the clinical choice and prognosis stratification of CRC patients
Retrospective study Lee et al[116], 2019 Narrow-band imaging Narrow-band imaging helped doctors to predict the histology of colorectal polyps and estimate the depth of invasion
Meta-analysis, Case control study Ichimasa et al[117], 2018 AI AI could reduce unnecessary surgery after endoscopic resection of stage T1 CRC without loss of lymph node metastasis
Review Kirchberg et al[118], 2019 Operation robot Robotic surgery had great potential, but it still needed high-quality evidence-based medicine
Experimental study Leonard et al[120], 2014 Smart tissue autonomous robot Smart tissue autonomous robot was more accurate than surgeons using the most advanced robotic surgical system
Case control study Huang et al[121], 2019 Operation robot The operation robot had the advantages of short operation time, low estimated bleeding, and fast recovery after operation
Review Zheng et al[122], 2020 Operation robot There were some limitations, such as the disunity of technical standards and the excessive dependence on surgical robot equipment
Review Mitsala et al[123], 2021 Computer-assisted drug delivery techniques The technology could help to enhance the sensitivity and accuracy of targeted drugs
Case control study Aikemu et al[124], 2020 AI AI provided personalized and novel evidence-based clinical treatment strategies for CRC
Review Hamamoto et al[125], 2020 AI AI provided a variety of new technologies for the treatment of CRC, such as surgical robots, drug localization technology, and various medical devices
Review Pritzker[126], 2020 AI AI could screen individual biomarkers for comprehensive and individualized treatment of colon cancer with low toxicity
Experimental study Ding et al[127], 2020 AI The drug dose optimization technology based on AI could achieve more accurate individualized treatment than traditional methods
