Can a breath test tell if a lung nodule is cancer?
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial is testing a simple breath test to see if it can tell whether a lung nodule is cancer or not. If you have a lung nodule that will be removed by surgery, you may be able to help find out if breathing into a device can replace more invasive tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a lung nodule (5 mm to 30 mm) found on a CT scan.
- You are scheduled to have surgery to remove the nodule.
- You have not started any cancer treatment yet.
- You have never had cancer before, and you do not have severe liver or kidney disease, or a serious mental illness.

This trial uses a new, non-invasive way to screen for lung cancer by combining your breath, blood, and CT scan images. The goal is to figure out whether a nodule found on a CT scan is cancerous or not, which could help patients avoid unnecessary procedures.
This study tests a breath test to detect lung cancer early in people with a lung nodule found on a CT scan. It aims to improve detection in diverse populations.
This study looks at lung nodules found on CT scans. Researchers will collect data from your breathing tests and CT scans to better understand how these nodules relate to lung cancer.
This study uses a simple breath test to detect different lung diseases. By analyzing the chemicals in your breath, researchers hope to find a faster, non-invasive way to diagnose lung conditions. It may be an option if you have a known lung disease and have a recent CT scan.
This trial follows people with lung nodules over time, using blood and tissue samples to look for metabolic changes that may help understand lung cancer better. If you have a lung nodule found on a CT scan and can safely do lung function tests, this study may be a fit.
This trial tests a new nasal swab test to help doctors better understand your risk if you have a small lung nodule. The test looks at cells from your nose to give more information about whether the nodule might be cancer, without needing a biopsy right away.
