Study summary
Accurate preoperative assessment of gastric cancer stage guides eligibility for endoscopic resection, extent of gastrectomy and lymphadenectomy, selection for neoadjuvant therapy, and use of staging laparoscopy. Contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) is guideline-endorsed for initial staging, yet performance varies across institutions and readers. This study will evaluate an artificial-intelligence (AI) system that analyzes routine CECT to detect gastric cancer and assign four-class T stage (T1-T4) and N stage (N0-N3) .

Inclusion Criteria:
1. pathologically confirmed gastric cancer;
2. preoperative contrast-enhanced CT performed;
3. no evidence of distant metastasis on baseline staging;
4. curative-intent management with complete postoperative histopathology.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. prior treatment before surgery;
2. non-diagnostic or poor-quality CT precluding evaluation.
Primary outcome measure(s)
Diagnostic performance of the AI model for staging — 3 years The primary outcome is the diagnostic accuracy of the AI system for four-class T staging (T1-T4) and N staging (N0-3) based on contrast-enhanced CT. The AI performance will be assessed using accuracy, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), and micro-AUC for internal and external cohorts.
