AI reads lung cancer scans to predict best treatment
NCT ID NCT07449858
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether computer analysis of PET/CT scans can help doctors more accurately stage non-small cell lung cancer and predict genetic mutations. Researchers will use data from 500 patients to build and test machine learning models. The goal is to provide better, personalized treatment guidance without needing extra invasive tests.
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 more accurate, non-invasive ways to stage lung cancer and predict gene mutations, helping doctors choose the best treatment for each patient.
- What could go wrong
- This is a retrospective study using existing data, not a clinical trial testing a new treatment. The models may not work as well in real-world settings or for all patient groups.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age \>= 18 years. * Underwent standard whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT scan within 30 days before surgery. * Histopathologically confirmed Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with clear histological subtyping and complete postoperative TNM staging. * Primary tumor SUVmax \> 2.5 and maximum diameter \> 1.0 cm on CT. * Complete clinical, pathological, and imaging data available. * (For Gene Sub-study) Known EGFR gene mutation status. * (For Prognosis Sub-study) Complete follow-up data available (minimum 12 months or until endpoint event). Exclusion Criteria: * History of other malignancies. * Received any anti-tumor treatment (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy) prior to PET/CT. * Severe image artifacts or indistinct tumor boundaries affecting ROI delineation. * Missing key clinical or pathological data. * Baseline PET/CT evaluated recurrent or metastatic tumors instead of primary NSCLC. * Extremely short life expectancy due to severe comorbidities.
