Core Tip Colorectal cancer remains a major global health threat with rising incidence in younger populations and limited response to immunotherapy in most patients, largely due to its complex tumor microenvironment and high cellular heterogeneity. Recent advances in single-cell transcriptomics and spatial transcriptomics have opened new avenues for decoding this heterogeneity, offering unprecedented resolution into tumor biology and immune interactions. However, the massive and multidimensional nature of these datasets poses significant analytical challenges. This paper explores how the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning and deep learning techniques, can enhance data interpretation in single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, improve the identification of novel biomarkers and tumor subtypes, and ultimately support personalized treatment strategies. By systematically reviewing current progress and proposing AI-driven solutions, this study aims to bridge the gap between complex omics data and clinically actionable insights in colorectal cancer precision medicine.
