Evaluating new methods for classifying lymph nodes in cancer patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

This project aims to assess the effectiveness of the LN-RADS classification system for lymph nodes in comparison to the established RECIST 1.1 and Node-RADS methods using CT and MRI imaging. The study focuses on patients diagnosed with or suspected of having cancer who are undergoing lymph node biopsies or surgeries. By improving the accuracy of lymph node assessment, the study seeks to enhance diagnostic capabilities and treatment planning in oncology. The research will involve analyzing imaging results to determine the presence of neoplastic changes in lymph nodes.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

* diagnosed or suspected cancer,
* planned lymph node biopsy or lymphadenectomy,
* planned or performed CT/MRI covering an area of the body with lymph nodes, - verified histopathologically or cytologically,
* informed consent to participate in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

* non-diagnostic CT/MRI images of lymph nodes due to reasons such as movement artifacts, artifacts from metal elements and any other factors that do not allow for proper assessment of the nodes,
* inconclusive histopathological or cytological results, which do not allow the nodes to be classified into one of two groups - benign or malignant.
