  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Lymph node cytology smear imaging data and clinical data in the training cohort were obtained from West China Hospital of Sichuan University (October 1, 2008 to August 31, 2024). Lymph node cytology smear imaging data and clinical data in the validation cohort were obtained from the Department of Pathology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Sichuan Cancer Hospital, and Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (January 1, 2020 to August 31, 2024).

Who may be able to join

  • From West China Hospital of Sichuan University (October 1, 2008-August 31, 2024) with corresponding clinical data, including age, sex, specimen puncture site, pathologic diagnosis, pathologic type, whether immunocytochemistry was added, clinical diagnosis, lesion site, co-morbidities, history of malignancy, treatment modality, occurrence of postoperative complications, total number of days of hospitalization postoperatively, and survival time;
  • From the Department of Pathology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, the Sichuan Provincial Cancer Hospital, and the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (January 1, 2020-August 31, 2024) with corresponding clinical data, including age, sex, specimen puncture site, pathologic diagnosis, pathologic type, whether immunocytochemistry was added, clinical diagnosis, lesion site, co-morbidities, history of malignancy, treatment modality, occurrence of postoperative complications, total number of days of hospitalization postoperatively, and survival time.

Who cannot join

  • Images lacking any supporting clinical or pathologic evidence to support a primary origin and its corresponding clinical information;
  • Blank, poorly focused, and low-quality images containing severe artifacts and their corresponding clinical information.

About this study

Official title: A Multicenter Study on Predicting Tumor Origin Based on Deep Learning of Lymph Node Puncture Cytology

In this study, the investigators aimed to construct a deep learning diagnostic model that uses cytological images to predict primary unknown tumor origins in patients with tumors combined with lymph node metastases. After the model is constructed, the model will be validated by a large-scale test set to test the model performance. The investigators also propose to compare the performance of the constructed model in diagnosing cytology smears compared to human pathologists.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lymph Nodes With Tumor Metastasis, run by West China Hospital 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 2 inclusion and 2 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Feb 2025. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Jianyong Lei (02885423822, guosiyin2000@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Model performance metrics (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 5 Feb 2025.
