Tests treatment safety and results for Lung Cancer
Official title The Development, Safety, and Feasibility of an Artificial Intelligence-Powered Platform (NodeAI) for Real-Time Prediction of Mediastinal Lymph Node Malignancy During Endobronchial Ultrasound Staging for Lung Cancer
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06540196
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Lung cancer is the leading cause of annual cancer deaths globally, more than breast, prostate, and colon cancers combined. The staging of chest lymph nodes (LNs) is a crucial step in the lung cancer diagnostic pathway because it aids in treatment decisions - whether a patient is a candidate for lung resection, chemotherapy, radiation, or multimodal treatments.
