Diagnosing upper digestive problems earlier during routine care
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study aims to learn how to detect problems in the upper digestive tract earlier. People may be asked to help with diagnosis while they are already undergoing routine tests or treatment, which could improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies a simple breath test to detect cancers of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, and colon. It is for people who have been referred by their doctor for tests because they have symptoms that might be caused by cancer.
This study tests whether a simple breath test can help detect different types of gastrointestinal cancers earlier. If you have been recently diagnosed with one of these cancers or have concerning abdominal symptoms but clear test results, your breath may help teach us how to spot these cancers sooner.
This study looks at chemicals in your breath to see if they can help detect a type of esophageal cancer (squamous cell carcinoma) early. You may join if you have untreated squamous cell esophageal cancer, or if you are having a routine endoscopy for stomach issues and your results are normal or show a benign condition.
This study is testing a new way to screen for cancers of the digestive tract using a simple blood and stool test. It is for people who are already scheduled to have a digestive tract endoscopy, and it may help find cancers earlier without extra invasive procedures.
This study follows adults who are having an endoscopy (a camera exam of the inside of the body) for routine care. It tests whether regular blood samples and questionnaires can help detect cancer earlier in people who do not currently have cancer.
This study looks at people with certain stomach symptoms or precancer risk factors when they get a camera test of the upper digestive tract (endoscopy). The goal is to learn how to better detect and evaluate stomach precancer conditions early, which may help guide treatment or follow-up.
