Deep Learning for Automated Discrimination Between Stage T1-T2 and T3 Renal Cell Carcinoma on Contrast-Enhanced CT

Enrollment

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study aims to develop and validate a contrast-enhanced CT-based deep-learning model for automatic and accurate preoperative discrimination between T1-T2 and T3 renal cell carcinoma. By quantifying the model's diagnostic performance on an independent test set-using AUC, sensitivity, specificity, positive/negative predictive values, and decision-curve analysis-we will establish a decision-support tool that can be seamlessly integrated into clinical PACS, thereby reducing staging errors, refining surgical planning, and improving patient outcomes.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This is an imaging research study, not a treatment trial. Researchers are training an artificial intelligence (AI) system to automatically identify the stage of kidney cancer from CT scans — specifically to tell apart early-stage (T1–T2) from more advanced (T3) disease. Better AI staging could help doctors plan surgery and treatment more accurately. **You may be eligible if...** - You have had kidney cancer confirmed by surgery and pathology - You had a contrast-enhanced CT scan at the study institution before surgery, with thin image slices (≤1 mm) - Your cancer was staged as T1a–T2b or T3a **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your tumor is a type other than renal cell carcinoma - Your CT images have severe artifacts or poor image quality Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
