Cancer poses a major public health challenge in China. Early detection can improve treatment outcomes and survival rates. In this study, we will conduct a large-scale, prospective, multi-center cohort study to evaluate the utility of AI-assisted non-contrast CT for multi-cancer screening.
The study aims to enroll 1 million asymptomatic participants undergoing routine health examinations, using an AI imaging model based on non-contrast CT to detect seven cancers such as lung, liver, gastric, colorectal, esophageal, pancreatic, and breast cancers. Positive cases will be required to be referred to Shanghai Changhai Hospital for further imaging and care based on National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and American College of Radiology (ACR) guidelines. The goal is to assess the AI model's diagnostic performance for seven cancer types, especially for early-stage, resectable tumors.
