AI Technical Summary
Existing diagnostic methods for CRC, such as colonoscopy, fecal occult blood test, and imaging techniques, have risks of perforation, false positive results, and radiation side effects. Furthermore, the ML method based on gut microbiota has a high misdiagnosis rate, making new diagnostic methods urgently needed.
By analyzing the peripheral blood TCR database and utilizing machine learning models, especially the random forest algorithm, a diagnostic model is constructed based on the VJ gene combination characteristics of the TCRβ chain to identify TCR database features related to CRC and achieve accurate diagnosis of CRC.
It achieves high sensitivity and high specificity in CRC diagnosis, with an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.9798 and an accuracy of 95%, which is significantly better than traditional methods and has the potential for non-invasive and efficient diagnosis.
