Occult Cancer clinical trials
Below are recruiting occult cancer clinical trials, each written for real people, not researchers. We’re tracking 10 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT07310693Recruiting
Validating a score to find hidden cancer in blood clot patients
This study tests how well a scoring system (CLOVER) can detect undiagnosed cancer in people who have had a blood clot (deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism). Researchers want to see if the score can predict hidden cancer, which may lead to earlier treatment.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06100718Recruiting
Detecting new cancer after a stroke in at-risk patients
This study looks for hidden cancers in people who have had a stroke and have high levels of a blood marker called D-dimer. It aims to see if a full cancer screening one year later can find new cancers that might have been missed.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18 years+ - NCT05733416Recruiting
FDG PET/CT scan after unexplained stroke to find hidden cancer
This study checks whether doing an intensive scan using FDG PET/CT shortly after a “cryptogenic” (unexplained) ischemic stroke can uncover an underlying cause, such as cancer. If a hidden source is found earlier, it may help guide the next treatment steps.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05963464Recruiting
Marker-assisted breast surgery for hard-to-feel tumors
This study tests a small implantable “marker” system (used to help doctors find the tumor or lymph node during breast surgery) for people with breast or lymph node areas that can’t be felt. It may help surgery planning and accuracy when the cancer can’t be easily located by touch.
MilanAges 18–90 - NCT03781531Recruiting
Blood tests to find hidden cancer after a blood clot
This study looks for “biomarkers,” or blood signs, that may help detect hidden (occult) cancer in people who recently had a blood clot in the leg or a lung clot. It may help doctors catch cancer earlier by improving detection after venous thromboembolism.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT05427071Recruiting
Tracking a breast cancer marker to guide lymph node surgery
This study tests a special “marker” technique to help surgeons find affected lymph nodes in the armpit after chemotherapy. It may support more targeted surgery and help avoid unnecessary removal of healthy lymph nodes.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06540872RecruitingPhase 2
Testing New PET/MRI Scan in Large DCIS
This study tests a new imaging method that combines a special PET scan (FAPI) with MRI to see if it can better find hidden invasive cancer in people with large areas of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). It aims to improve surgical planning and avoid second surgeries.
Essen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06478394Recruiting
Blood test for hidden stomach cancer spread
This study tests a new blood test that uses machine learning to find hidden stomach cancer spread (peritoneal metastases) early. It could help people with locally advanced stomach cancer avoid unnecessary surgery.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06684418Recruiting
AI to find hidden cancer spread in early lung cancer
This trial uses artificial intelligence to predict if early-stage lung cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It aims to help doctors make better treatment decisions for patients with stage 1 lung cancer.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05918510Recruiting
Blood and tumor study for virus markers in throat cancer
This study looks at virus-related markers and tiny gene regulators (microRNAs) in tumor tissue from people with certain throat cancers caused by human papilloma virus (HPV). It’s observational, meaning it does not change your treatment, but results may help doctors better understand these cancers and how they behave.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for occult cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 10 recruiting occult cancer 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 occult cancer 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 occult cancer 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.
