Key Words Advanced adenoma; Colorectal cancer screening; Tongue imaging; Predictive model; Nomogram; Opportunistic screening
Core Tip This study developed and internally validated a noninvasive nomogram integrating quantitative tongue phenotypes with clinical factors for advanced adenoma detection. In the validation cohort, the nomogram showed higher discrimination than the Asia-Pacific colorectal screening (APCS) and modified APCS scores. In the high-risk subgroup (APCS ≥ 4), where conventional scores had limited discriminative value, the nomogram maintained moderate performance and detected 2-3 times as many advanced adenomas as the conventional scores did at approximately 80% specificity, suggesting potential as a noninvasive risk-refinement tool for opportunistic screening.
