AI tool to help surgeons decide during rectal cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests an artificial-intelligence support tool that helps surgeons make decisions during surgery for rectal cancer. If you qualify, the tool may be used alongside the surgical team to support safer, more effective care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 84 years old.
- You have confirmed rectal adenocarcinoma (a type of rectal cancer) based on pre-op pathology.
- Your doctors plan a curative surgery called total mesorectal excision.
- Your overall health for anesthesia is in ASA class I, II, or III.
- You can give written informed consent to join the study.

This trial is testing a computer model that helps doctors predict how difficult rectal cancer surgery will be, so they can choose the best approach. The study aims to improve surgical planning and outcomes for patients.
This study tests an AI system that helps identify cancer or polyp findings during rectal surgery or assessment, using real-time information. It may help surgeons classify tissue more accurately while you are already getting treatment.
This study compares how an artificial intelligence system and a team of cancer doctors recommend treatment for rectal cancer. By understanding how well they agree, researchers hope to improve cancer treatment planning.
This study is testing whether an artificial intelligence system can find very small amounts of leftover cancer (minimal residual disease) after treatment for rectal or esophageal cancer. If successful, this could help doctors detect a relapse earlier than current methods.
This study uses an AI computer program to read special MRI images and predict how well treatment (given before surgery) will work for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. It may help doctors better plan who benefits most from neoadjuvant therapy (treatment before surgery).
This trial tests an artificial intelligence system that helps doctors find and diagnose tubular adenomas (a type of precancerous polyp) during colonoscopy. It may improve early detection of colorectal cancer.
