New 3D imaging could sharpen cancer diagnosis
NCT ID NCT07239063
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new way to create detailed 3D images of lung and colorectal cancer tissue. Researchers will use a special preprocessing system and 3D imaging to get a clearer picture of tumors. The goal is to improve how doctors diagnose and plan treatment for these cancers. The study involves 1,000 patients with lung or colorectal cancer.
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 more accurate cancer diagnosis and better treatment decisions, potentially improving survival rates.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early validation study, not a treatment trial. The new imaging method may not prove more accurate than current approaches, and results may not apply to all patients.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study population will consist of patients with a confirmed pathological diagnosis of colorectal cancer or lung cancer. Eligible participants include adults who have undergone diagnostic biopsy or surgical resection yielding tumor tissue available for analysis. Clinical data and corresponding tumor specimens (including H\&E slides, paraffin blocks, and discarded ex vivo tissue) will be collected. All cases were prospectively collected from Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University.
