Creating an Image Database for Early Upper GI Cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study aims to build a library of images from patients with early cancers or precancerous spots in the upper digestive tract (esophagus and stomach). If you are scheduled for a standard endoscopy procedure (ESD or biopsy), researchers will use the pictures to help improve early detection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- You have early cancer in the upper part of your digestive tract (esophagus or stomach), or a precancerous spot or condition there.
- You are scheduled for a procedure called ESD or a biopsy to take a tissue sample.
- You are willing to follow the study schedule and give your written consent.
- You have no pacemaker or other electronic implants that could interfere with magnetic imaging.
- You do not have any known narrowing in the intestines or trouble swallowing, and you are not allergic to certain exam medications or materials.

This trial compares a magnetic capsule you swallow (like a high-tech pill with a camera) to a standard endoscopy for checking the stomach after surgery. It is designed for patients over 65 or those with conditions like heart or lung disease who may need a less invasive option.
This trial tests a new type of 'capsule' (a small pill with a camera) that doctors can guide with a magnet to look for the source of upper digestive tract bleeding. It's for people who come to the emergency room with signs of bleeding from the stomach or esophagus and are stable enough for the exam.
This study tests an artificial intelligence tool that analyzes images taken during stomach endoscopy to help diagnose early-stage stomach cancer or precancerous changes. The goal is to improve how doctors identify and treat these lesions early, when treatment is most effective.
This trial checks how well a wearable magnet tracking system can guide a capsule camera through your digestive tract. It may help doctors see where the capsule is in real time without changing the basic capsule endoscopy process.
This trial tests if a capsule-sized camera can be used at home to check for stomach problems. It's for healthy people or those with stomach symptoms like pain, nausea, or bleeding.
This trial uses images and videos from routine capsule endoscopy procedures to develop better ways to diagnose conditions. If you're already scheduled for a capsule endoscopy, you can help by allowing your images to be used for research.
