Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (over 18) treated for lung cancer at Wuhan Union Hospital between July 2025 and July 2026 who have a pathological diagnosis and at least one pre-treatment CT scan are eligible.

Probably not a fit

Patients with poor-quality CT images, incomplete clinical data or follow-up, unclear pathology, or a second primary cancer are unlikely to benefit from the analysis.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational project collects CT scans from adults with non-small cell or small cell lung cancer treated at Wuhan Union Hospital around the time they start immunotherapy. Automated tumor segmentation and radiomics feature extraction will be applied to the images, followed by feature selection and development of a machine-learning classification model to predict treatment response and survival. Clinical and pathological data will be combined with imaging features when available, and cases with poor image quality or incomplete follow-up will be excluded. The model will be trained and validated within this single-center cohort to explore whether imaging-based AI can help inform treatment decisions.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could help doctors identify which patients are likely to benefit from immunotherapy and spare others unnecessary side effects.

How similar studies have gone: Previous radiomics and AI studies have shown promising retrospective results for predicting immunotherapy response, but findings remain preliminary and are not yet standard clinical practice.
