AI reads skin lesions to predict cancer aggressiveness
NCT ID NCT07677124
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) model can accurately classify basal cell carcinoma (a common skin cancer) as low-risk or high-risk using dermoscopic images. Researchers will also see if the AI can predict specific subtypes of the cancer. The model's performance will be compared to diagnoses made by dermatologists. The study uses existing data from patients with confirmed basal cell carcinoma.
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 AI model could help doctors quickly identify high-risk skin cancers from images, potentially speeding up treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is a retrospective study using existing images, so the AI may not perform as well in real-world settings. It is not a treatment and does not directly benefit participants.

Who is studied
The study population consists of patients with histopathologically confirmed basal cell carcinoma who have dermoscopic images of sufficient quality for artificial intelligence analysis and documented histopathological subtype information. Archived clinical and dermoscopic images collected at Istanbul Training and Research Hospital will be retrospectively analyzed.
