This is a prospective, multicenter, observational study designed to validate the predictive accuracy of a pre-developed multimodal deep learning model. The model integrates preoperative contrast-enhanced CT scans, digitized postoperative pathology images, and standard clinical data to estimate the risk of liver metastasis within two years after curative surgery in patients with stage I-III colorectal cancer.
The primary objective is to evaluate the model's performance in an independent, prospectively enrolled patient cohort. Participants will receive standard-of-care treatment according to clinical guidelines. The study involves no experimental interventions; it solely involves the collection and analysis of routinely generated clinical data. The goal is to assess the model's potential for clinical translation by providing a reliable tool for stratifying patients' risk of liver metastasis, which could inform personalized surveillance strategies.
