Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT00843375Recruiting
Testing stool samples to find early colon cancer and polyps
This study checks stool samples to see how well stool tests can detect early colon cancer and precancerous growths called adenomas. If you qualify, you’ll collect stool samples for a lab test (FIT) and sometimes this helps sort who should get follow-up testing.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03423303Enrolling by invitation
Screening test to find early prostate cancer sooner
This trial checks whether an early prostate cancer screening approach can detect clinically significant prostate cancer sooner. It may help participants catch the disease at an earlier stage when treatment can be more effective.
HelsinkiAges 50–63 - NCT06249308Recruiting
Liquid biopsy test for early ovarian cancer detection
This study is testing a blood test to see if it can catch ovarian cancer early. You may be eligible if you have been recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer and haven't started treatment yet.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 40–75 - NCT06638866Recruiting
AI screening for pancreatic cancer using regular CT scans
This trial uses artificial intelligence to analyze routine CT scans of the chest or abdomen (done for other reasons) to detect early signs of pancreatic cancer. If you are already getting a CT scan for another health issue, this could help catch pancreatic cancer early without extra tests.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07622953Recruiting
Vaginal Fluid Markers for Early Detection of Gynecological Cancer
This study collects vaginal fluid samples to test whether certain biological markers (substances in the fluid) can help detect gynecological cancers earlier or track how they change during treatment. You may qualify if you're being evaluated for, currently receiving treatment for, or receiving comfort care for a gynecological cancer.
SouthamptonAges 18 years+ - NCT04793633Enrolling by invitation
Testing a noninvasive way to collect pancreatic cells early
This study tests LINFU™, a noninvasive method to collect pancreatic cells to help detect pancreatic cancer earlier. You may be invited if you’re at higher risk or you have concerning symptoms and planned pancreas/bile testing (like EUS or CT).
Sarasota, FloridaAges 18–90 - NCT05296941Recruiting
Oral cancer screening for early mouth changes
This trial tests an oral (mouth) screening approach to catch early, possibly cancer-pre-cursor changes. It may help you find warning spots sooner if you have specific mouth lesions.
Falun, Dalarna CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT05541601Recruiting
Study to detect liver cancer early in people with cirrhosis
This study follows people with cirrhosis to see how best to detect liver cancer early. If you qualify, you may receive regular monitoring that could help find liver cancer sooner, when treatment is more likely to work.
