NCT ID NCT06981819

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested a training system for confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE), a technique that lets doctors see cells in real time during an endoscopy. 147 patients with stomach lesions were examined by both experts and trainees. The goal was to see if the training helped doctors accurately diagnose gastric cancer and precancerous changes. The study aimed to improve early detection and make this advanced imaging more widely available.
