AI + cuff boosts polyp detection in colonoscopy trial
NCT ID NCT05414448
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether using an artificial intelligence system (ENDOAID) together with a small attachment on the colonoscope (Endocuff) helps doctors find more precancerous polyps (adenomas) than using AI alone. Over 1,700 adults aged 45-85 undergoing colonoscopy for screening or symptoms took part. The goal was to see if the combination improves detection rates, which could help prevent colorectal cancer.
