Quick video training boosts cancer detection in polyps, study finds
NCT ID NCT07401004
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a short training video on 'blink features' (visual clues like redness or ulcers) could help medical students and non-gastroenterology trainees better detect cancer in images of colon polyps. 65 participants completed an online survey before and after watching the video. The goal was to see if their ability to correctly identify cancerous polyps improved.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Blink Features Training Video
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a simple training tool that helps doctors better identify cancer in colon polyps during routine exams.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early study with medical students, not practicing doctors. The results may not apply to real-world colonoscopy settings.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Images of large non-pedunculated colorectal polyps (LNPCPs) obtained from patients who have provided informed consent for the anonymous use of polyp images during colonoscopy (EC-2024-200). * Medical students and non-GI trainees who have provided written informed consent to participate in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants (students or non-GI trainees) with prior experience in endoscopy or polyp detection, or those who do not provide informed consent. * Images deemed to be of insufficient quality by the principal investigator. * Patients who do not provide informed consent for image use and data collection.
