AI to predict cancer risk from gut bacteria and scans
NCT ID NCT07605312
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will collect data from 10,000 people undergoing upper endoscopy to build an AI model that predicts the risk of developing stomach or esophageal cancer. Researchers will combine information from endoscopy images, tissue samples, genetics, and gut bacteria. Participants will be followed over time to see who develops cancer or precancerous changes.
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 a reliable AI tool that helps doctors identify people at high risk for stomach or esophageal cancer earlier, potentially improving screening and prevention.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The AI model may not prove accurate enough for real-world use, and results may take years to confirm.
