AI boosts polyp detection in colon cancer screening Follow-Up
NCT ID NCT06160466
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether an AI tool (GI Genius) helps doctors find more polyps during colonoscopy in people aged 50-74 who had a previous polyp. Over 1,100 participants were randomly assigned to either AI-assisted or standard colonoscopy. The main goal was to see if AI increases the number of polyps detected, which could help prevent colon cancer.
