AI-Powered endoscopy aims to spot head and neck cancer earlier
NCT ID NCT07596355
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test artificial intelligence algorithms that analyze video from routine endoscopies of the head and neck. The AI will try to detect, classify (benign vs. malignant), and outline lesions, comparing its performance to doctors and lab results. About 283 adults with suspected or known lesions will participate, but the AI will not influence their treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- artificial intelligence algorithm
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors more accurately detect and classify head and neck lesions during routine endoscopy, potentially improving early diagnosis.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study that does not change patient care yet. The AI may not perform as well in real-world settings or on different patient groups.
