About this study

This study proposes to establish a CT radiomics-based prediction model for identifying metastasis lymph nodes in esophageal cancer.

Read the detailed description

This study proposes to establish an image feature extraction and selection method for identifying lymph node metastasis of esophageal cancer.The study will consider the relationship between the main lesion and the suspected lymph node, extract association characteristics in order to improve the sensitivity and specificity of the CT radiomics-based prediction model for identifying metastasis lymph nodes. The study includes the construction of CT radiomics-based prediction model and the validation of the prediction model.

Being tested
preoperative enhanced chest CT examination
Keywords
esophagus cancer; radiomics; computed tomograpy
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • preoperative enhanced chest CT examinationProcedure or surgery

    Each patient will receive preoperative enhanced chest CT examination, and their CT images will be used for analysis

Study groups in NCT03237130
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
preoperative enhanced chest CTThe cohort contains patients with preoperative therapies and patients without preoperative therapies. Each patient receives regular preoperative enhanced chest CT; for patients with preoperative therapies, they usually undergo twice enhanced chest CT examination at before and after preoperative therapies, the CT images after preoperative therapies will be used for analysis
Receives: Procedure: preoperative enhanced chest CT examination

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. pathological local lymph node status

    pathological lymph node status is defined as lymph node metastasis exist or not

    Measured: Pathologic evaluation will be performed for each patient within 1 week after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Esophagus Cancer, run by Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

pathological local lymph node status (time frame: Pathologic evaluation will be performed for each patient within 1 week after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Feb 2021.
