Recruiting studies
- NCT07011342Recruiting
Testing a new PET scan after focal treatment for prostate cancer
This trial tests a new type of PET scan to see how well it finds leftover cancer after you've had focal therapy (treatment to just part of the prostate) for intermediate-risk prostate cancer in the last 9 months.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06286267Recruiting
AI tool for diagnosing breast phyllodes tumors
This trial uses an artificial intelligence system to help doctors more accurately diagnose and predict the outcome of breast phyllodes tumors, which are rare breast growths. It aims to improve how these tumors are identified and managed.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT03748485Recruiting
Chemo after surgery for certain stage III colon cancer
This trial studies whether adding chemotherapy after surgery helps people with colon cancer that was diagnosed before surgery as stage III and later found to be without certain high-risk features. It may help lower the chance the cancer comes back, but you must meet specific surgery and health criteria.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06076005Recruiting
Advanced Lung Cancer at First Diagnosis Study
This study collects information about people with advanced lung cancer at the time they are first diagnosed. It aims to understand the disease better and may help with future treatments.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT06803771Recruiting
Checking pancreas health after a new diabetes diagnosis
This study looks at people recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes to check their pancreas health using blood tests and scans. The goal is to find early signs of pancreatic issues, which might help catch problems sooner.
Sandbach, CheshireAges 50–84 - NCT06543108Recruiting
Comparing two PET scans for stomach cancer
This study compares two types of PET scans (FAPI and FDG) to see which one works better for diagnosing stomach cancer. You would receive both scans within a week, and your doctor would also check your blood for tumor markers.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–90 - NCT06629896Recruiting
Comparing contrast mammogram vs MRI for high-risk breast cancer surveillance
This trial compares two advanced imaging methods—contrast-enhanced mammography and MRI—to see which is better for detecting breast cancer early in women at high risk. If you are at high risk and have not had breast cancer before, this study could help guide your future screening.
Reggio Emilia, Italy/Reggio EmiliaAges 35–60 - NCT07363382RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing GRPR PET Scan for Prostate Cancer
This study tests a new imaging method (GRPR PET) to help better see and stage prostate cancer. If you have prostate cancer, this scan may give doctors more detail about where the cancer is located.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–90 - NCT07828704RecruitingPhase 2
Using fluorescent dye to see kidney cancer during removal surgery
This trial tests whether a special dye, taken as a drink before surgery, makes kidney cancer cells glow under a fluorescent light. This may help surgeons remove the tumor more completely while saving healthy kidney tissue.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–75 - NCT07030348Recruiting
Early detection of pancreatic cancer using fluid from the upper gut
This study collects fluid from the first part of the small intestine (duodenum) during an endoscopy to see if it can help detect pancreatic cancer early. It is for people who already need an endoscopy for medical reasons.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 19 years+ - NCT06452745Recruiting
Early colon cancer detection using a blood test
This study uses a simple blood test to find early signs of colorectal cancer in people who already had a positive stool test. If it works, it could help avoid unnecessary colonoscopies in the future.
Reus, TarragonaAges 50–70 - NCT05686499Recruiting
Colonoscopy training for early colorectal cancer detection
This trial supports training for healthcare professionals to improve screening and early diagnosis of colorectal cancer. It may help by building skills in safely performing colonoscopies and spotting cancer earlier.
Ile-Ife, Osun StateAges 18 years+ - NCT07455942Recruiting
Understanding why anal cancer diagnosis is delayed
This study looks at the reasons and delays in diagnosing anal cancer. It aims to help doctors detect it earlier in the future.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT05763511Recruiting
Blood test to help diagnose ovarian cancer sooner
This study checks whether a special blood test (circulating tumor DNA) can help find ovarian cancer when it’s suspected. It may help doctors diagnose more accurately and sooner, so the right treatment can start sooner.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT05558904RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
PET/CT scan to help find early lung cancer
This trial tests a special PET/CT scan to spot early lung cancer by finding specific body processes linked to cancer. It compares scan results in people with lung nodules that are either cancer (lung adenocarcinoma) or likely benign.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07821593Recruiting
Experiences after preventive mastectomy for BRCA gene carriers
This study asks women who carry a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene change and chose to have their breasts removed to prevent cancer about their experiences after surgery. Participation involves filling out a survey about your feelings and recovery.
Pavia, PaviaAges 25–70 - NCT06614179Recruiting
Abdominal CT screening for abdominal tumors
This study uses abdominal CT scans to help screen for and diagnose various abdominal tumors. It looks at both people with confirmed tumors and healthy volunteers to build a model that can improve early cancer detection.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06181929Recruiting
Early lung cancer detection in Korean women with family history
This study looks at a new way to find lung cancer early in Korean women who have never smoked but have a family history of lung cancer. You would get a special CT scan (low-dose CT) to check for early signs of cancer, which could help catch it sooner.
Seoul, SeoulAges 45–74 - NCT07213154Recruiting
Optical scans for skin cancer diagnosis
This trial uses a special optical imaging scan to help diagnose skin cancer without needing a biopsy. It may be a good option if you have a suspicious skin lesion.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07035587Recruiting
A blood test to detect multiple cancers and monitor leftover tumors after treatment
This trial uses a blood test to find early signs of cancer or leftover tumor cells after treatment. It may help people with certain cancers or those with non-cancerous growths understand their condition better.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07019870Recruiting
Screening for early diagnosis of nose cancer
This trial offers free screening to find nose cancer (nasopharyngeal carcinoma or NPC) early, before symptoms start. It is for people with a family history of NPC who may be at higher risk.
SingaporeAges 35–60 - NCT06889883Recruiting
Blood test for early colorectal cancer detection
This study is testing a new blood test to find colorectal cancer early. You may be able to join if you are about to have a colonoscopy or surgery for a suspected tumor.
Zaragoza, AragonAges 18 years+ - NCT04809025Recruiting
Testing biopsy samples vs surgery samples for stomach cancer testing
This study compares two ways of getting stomach cancer tissue: a camera-guided biopsy and a tissue sample taken during planned stomach surgery. The goal is to see which sample better supports molecular (gene-based) testing to guide diagnosis.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT01900821Recruiting
Join a national mammogram data registry
This trial is building a national database of mammogram (breast X-ray) information. It may help researchers improve screening and care in the future, and there are no listed limits or exclusions in the provided criteria.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cancer diagnosis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 270 recruiting cancer diagnosis studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a cancer diagnosis trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a cancer diagnosis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
