AI reads CT scans to predict lung cancer comeback
NCT ID NCT07552532
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at CT scans and other data from 2000 lung cancer patients to build a tool that predicts if the cancer will come back after surgery. The goal is to help doctors decide who needs closer monitoring. It is a retrospective study, meaning it analyzes past information rather than testing a new treatment.
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 tool that helps doctors predict which lung cancer patients are at higher risk of recurrence after surgery, enabling more personalized follow-up and treatment plans.
- What could go wrong
- This is a retrospective study, meaning it looks back at existing data, not a prospective trial. The model may not work as well in real-world settings or different patient groups.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Patients with pathologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who underwent curative-intent surgical resection and had preoperative contrast-enhanced chest CT available were retrospectively identified from participating centers. Eligible patients had complete clinicopathological, imaging, and follow-up data for assessment of postoperative local recurrence.
