Can ancient and modern medicine team up to predict colon cancer risk?
NCT ID NCT07611266
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is building a risk prediction model for colorectal adenomas (precancerous polyps) by combining data from both Traditional Chinese Medicine (like tongue and pulse diagnosis) and Western medicine (like endoscopy and lab tests). Researchers will follow 3,000 adults across multiple hospitals in China to see which factors best predict polyp recurrence or cancer. The goal is to create a tool that helps doctors identify high-risk patients and tailor prevention strategies.
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 could lead to a tool that helps doctors predict which patients are at higher risk of colorectal adenoma recurrence or cancer, enabling earlier and more personalized prevention.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The model may not be accurate enough for widespread use, and results may take years to validate.
