Development of Novel Gastric Cancer Screening and Diagnosis Technologies Using Tongue Imaging and Study of Tongue Image Changes Mechanisms

A Multi-center Observational Clinical Study on the Development of Artificial Intelligence-Based Gastric Cancer Screening and Diagnosis Technology Using Multi-Omics Analysis of Tongue Imaging and Tongue Coating


Sponsor

Zhejiang Cancer Hospital

Enrollment

100,000 participants

Start Date

Jun 1, 2021

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

In this study, the investigators will prospectively recruit 100,000 individuals, including gastric cancer patients who have not undergone any anti-tumor treatment and non-gastric cancer participants. The investigators will construct a diagnostic model for malignant tumors based on the combination of tongue imaging, tongue coating, saliva, gastric juice, and fecal multi-omics data (including metagenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.). Additionally, the study will explore the relationship between oral, gastric, and intestinal microbiota and the development of malignant tumors.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is exploring whether tongue imaging — photographing and analyzing the tongue — can be used as a new non-invasive screening tool for gastric (stomach) cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine has long associated tongue appearance with internal organ health; this study tests if there is scientific validity to that idea. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 18 and 90 years old - You have been diagnosed with gastric cancer confirmed by tissue or cell testing - You have not yet received chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, or other anti-cancer treatment for gastric cancer - You are willing to sign informed consent and attend follow-up **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have already started cancer treatment - You have another active cancer at the same time - You are outside the 18–90 age range Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
