AI reads lung cancer scans to predict survival
NCT ID NCT07068139
First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study explores whether artificial intelligence can predict the stage and survival of non-small cell lung cancer by analyzing CT and PET scans. Researchers will train a deep learning model using existing medical records from 156 patients who had lung cancer surgery. The goal is to create a tool that helps doctors make faster, more accurate predictions without any new treatments or procedures.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this AI model could help doctors predict lung cancer stage and survival more quickly and accurately from routine scans.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, retrospective study using data from a single hospital. The AI may not work as well in other settings or on different patient groups.

Who is studied
This study includes patients who underwent surgical treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at Ondokuz Mayis University Hospital in Samsun, Türkiye. Eligible patients are selected from the hospital's electronic medical records and radiologic imaging archive between January 2010 and March 2025. The population reflects a clinical sample from a tertiary referral center serving a diverse adult patient population in the Black Sea region of Türkiye.
