Study collects samples during routine endoscopy to detect cancer early
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 18 years old
- Be scheduled for an upper or lower endoscopy for routine medical care
- Be able and willing to provide repeat blood samples during the study
- Be able and willing to fill out follow-up questionnaires
- Be able to give consent and participate in study follow-up

This study looks for cancer-related material in blood, urine, and sometimes bone marrow. It may help researchers understand how to detect cancer activity and track it over time using less invasive tests.
This study looks for early signs of disease in healthy adults by checking blood and other samples. It may help find diseases sooner in the future.
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.
This study collects blood and biopsy tissue from people who are having an upper endoscopy at UNC for Barrett’s esophagus or esophageal cancer. The samples help researchers build a biorepository to study these conditions and support future research.
This study tests less invasive ways to detect high-grade dysplasia (very abnormal cells) and esophageal cancer in people with Barrett's esophagus, a condition that can increase cancer risk. It looks for these changes using cell samples taken during a routine endoscopy, which may be quicker and more comfortable than standard biopsies.
This study is testing a new blood test that might help find cancer early. If you are 40 or older and planning a routine screening colonoscopy, you may be able to join. You will give a blood sample before the colonoscopy, and the researchers will see if the test can detect signs of cancer.
