AQCS for Detection of Early Cancer and Precancerous Lesions on Upper Gastrointestinal Tract

May 25, 2024 updated by: Yanqing Li, Shandong University

Computer-aided Real-time Automatic Quality-control System for Detection of Early Cancer and Precancerous Lesions on Upper Gastrointestinal Tract: a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Study

The purpose of our study was to assess the performance of esophagogastroduodenoscopy automatic quality-control system in real-time quality control of EGD.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Investigators developed a real-time quality control system of esophagogastroduodenoscopy(EGD) named EGD automatic quality-control system (AQCS). Investigators carried a prospective multicenter randomized controlled trial to assess the performance of this system in quality control of real-time EGD, including detecting the early upper gastrointestinal cancer and precancerous lesions, assessing inspection completeness, mucosal visibility, time of EGD procedure and other indicators.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: AQCS-aided group
Patients in AQCS-aided group will go through white light EGD examination with assistance of AQCS.
EGD automatic quality-control system(AQCS),developed based on deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) models,could facilitate real-time detection of upper gastrointestinal lesions, assess inspection completeness and mucosal visibility, and calculate time of EGD procedure.
No Intervention: Control group
Patients in control group will go through white light EGD examination without AQCS.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Detection rate of early cancer and precancerous lesions on upper gastrointestinal tract confirmed by pathological examination
Time Frame: 6 months
The primary outcome is the detection rate of early cancer and precancerous lesions on upper gastrointestinal tract confirmed by pathological examination per group.
6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Detection rate of early cancer and precancerous lesions on upper gastrointestinal tract in tertiary hospitals and secondary hospitals.
Time Frame: 6 months
Effect of detection rate of early cancer and precancerous lesions on upper gastrointestinal tract from tertiary hospitals and secondary hospitals with assistance of AQCS.
6 months
Mean inspection completeness of two groups.
Time Frame: 6 months
Inspection completeness includes taking standard images of each parts of esophageal and gastric cavity.
6 months
Mean inspection time of EGD procedure of two groups.
Time Frame: During procedure
Inspection time of EGD procedure is the time endoscopy inserting to withdrawing the mouth and does not include the time of biopsy.
During procedure
Detection rate of early cancer and precancerous lesions on upper gastrointestinal tract from senior, intermediate and primary endoscopist with assistance of AQCS.
Time Frame: 6 months
Effect of detection rate of early cancer and precancerous lesions on upper gastrointestinal tract from senior, intermediate and primary endoscopist with assistance of AQCS.
6 months
