ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how artificial intelligence (AI) can help doctors predict whether laryngeal cancer has invaded the thyroid cartilage, which is an important structure in the neck. By using CT scans, the researchers aim to create a model that provides more accurate information before surgery, helping doctors make better treatment decisions. They are also looking at how well this model can predict patient survival outcomes.

To participate in the trial, individuals should be between 65 and 84 years old and need to have a confirmed diagnosis of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, either through surgery or a biopsy. They must also have had a CT scan within two weeks before their surgery. However, patients who have received chemotherapy or radiation therapy before the surgery, those with certain issues in their CT images, or those whose cancer has returned will not be eligible. If you join this study, you can expect to contribute to important research that could improve the way laryngeal cancer is diagnosed and treated in the future.
