Routinely taken tissue samples provide an opportunity to enhance existing positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT)-based therapy response evaluation. Our objective was to investigate if deep learning (DL) algorithms are capable of predicting the therapy response of patients with GEJ adenocarcinoma to neoadjuvant chemotherapy on the basis of histologic tissue samples.This diagnostic study recruited 67 patients with I-III GEJ adenocarcinoma from the multicentric nonrandomized MEMORI trial including three German university hospitals TUM (University Hospital Rechts der Isar, Munich), LMU (Hospital of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich), and UME (University Hospital Essen, Essen). All patients underwent baseline PET/CT scans and esophageal biopsy before and 14-21 days after treatment initiation.
