Can a CT scan predict the future of gastric cancer?
NCT ID NCT07776067
First seen Aug 20, 2026 · Last updated Sep 01, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study is testing whether a computer model that analyzes CT scans taken before treatment, combined with basic clinical information, can predict how long people with gastric cancer will live and when their cancer might progress. Researchers will follow 600 adults receiving standard care, collecting their imaging and medical data to see if the model's predictions match real outcomes. The model's predictions are for research only and will not influence treatment decisions.
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 provide doctors with a new tool to better estimate how gastric cancer might progress, potentially guiding more personalized treatment decisions in the future.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it cannot prove the model changes outcomes. The model's accuracy may vary across different patient groups, and it is not yet ready for clinical use.
