About this study

Official title: To Investigate the Predictive Efficiency of Staging by Processing Tomography Images in Esophageal and Stomach Malignancies

Esophageal and stomach cancers, which constitute cancers of the upper region of the digestive system, are cancers that are frequently observed and unfortunately have a low rate of cured patients. In these cases, the stage of cancer at diagnosis is very important for two reasons; First, the stage of the cancer is directly related to the survival time. Secondly, treatment is planned according to the stage. Different treatments are applied to patients at different stages. Currently, the TNM staging (Tumor, Lymph Node and Metastases) system is the accepted one worldwide. Despite many advanced technology tools used in staging (Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Endoscopic Ultrasonography), there are still difficulties in correct staging before surgery or before-after neoadjuvant therapy. Artificial intelligence techniques are increasingly used in the field of health, especially in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers. Obtaining cancer details in radiological images, which cannot be noticed by the human eye, by analyzing big data with the help of algorithms gave rise to the application area of "radiomics". It is stated that with Radiomics, there will be improvements in both the diagnosis and staging of cancers and, accordingly, in the treatment. While there are studies on the use of endoscopic methods with artificial intelligence for the early diagnosis of esophageal cancers, a limited number of studies have been conducted on stage estimation from radiological images. In particular, there are not enough studies on the investigation of changes in tumor size after chemotherapy with artificial intelligence and the estimation of staging. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the predictive efficiency of staging and the accuracy of the algorithm developed with artificial intelligence by processing tomography images in a region where esophageal cancers are endemic as a primary outcome and to evaluate the post-treatment mortality, morbidity rates and complication rates of the patients as a secondary outcome.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastrointestinal Cancer, run by Sebahattin Celik MD at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 5 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 17 Dec 2024. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Artificial intelligence's sensitivity and accuracy to predict the stage of the cancer (time frame: 1 year). 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 17 Dec 2024.
