Web tool aims to spot hidden cancer in large colon polyps without special equipment
NCT ID NCT07705880
First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a simple web-based tool that helps doctors predict whether a large colon polyp contains invasive cancer. The tool uses only standard endoscopic images and basic information like polyp size and location. Doctors of varying experience will use the tool to assess polyps before and after a short training session, and their accuracy will be compared to expert opinion. If the tool works well, it could make cancer detection easier and more consistent across hospitals.

- a web-based clinical decision support tool
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this tool could help doctors quickly and accurately decide whether a large colon polyp can be removed during colonoscopy or requires surgery, potentially reducing unnecessary procedures.
