Using AI to support rectal cancer treatment decisions
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses an AI tool to help doctors make treatment decisions for rectal cancer. It looks at MRI reports and other medical information to suggest the best next steps, like surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with rectal cancer
- Your cancer team is still deciding on your treatment plan
- You have had an MRI scan of your pelvis
- Your medical records are complete enough to review

This trial tests whether a computer model can help doctors predict how difficult the surgery will be, so they can choose the best surgical approach for removing middle to lower rectal cancer. It aims to make the operation safer and more effective for patients like you.
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 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 uses artificial intelligence to look for tiny signs of cancer left behind after treatment, which could help catch a return of the disease earlier. It involves giving blood samples over 6 months and possibly sharing a sample of your tumor tissue.
This trial tests a program that helps you and your doctor decide together whether to avoid surgery and keep your rectum after chemo and radiation. It's for people with early-stage rectal cancer who have not had prior treatment for this cancer.
This study tests whether a computer-based tool can help doctors make treatment decisions for stomach, colon, or rectal cancer. It compares the computer's suggestions with the recommendations of a team of cancer specialists.
