New tool could better predict duodenal cancer in FAP patients
NCT ID NCT07199127
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to create a more accurate way to predict duodenal cancer risk in people with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), a genetic condition that greatly increases the chance of developing this cancer. Researchers will analyze endoscopy images from 300 participants to develop and test new risk models. The goal is to improve early detection and guide better surveillance or treatment decisions.
