NCT ID NCT06645015
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether an AI tool can help surgeons better predict risks for patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery. About 1,200 patients across Denmark will be randomly assigned to have their risk assessed by a surgeon using standard methods or with AI assistance. The goal is to see if AI leads to more personalized care, fewer complications, and lower costs, without harming patient outcomes.
