Lung cancer breath and blood test study
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is testing new breath and blood tests to detect lung cancer. It may help find better ways to diagnose and monitor non-small cell lung cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must be able to understand and agree to the study.
- You must be having surgery to remove non-small cell lung cancer with the goal of curing it.
- You cannot have cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
- You cannot have any other type of cancer, unless it was treated more than 5 years ago and is not skin cancer.

This study checks tiny pieces of DNA from a sample taken during a breathing-tube biopsy (EBUS-TBNA) to better identify certain lung cancer changes. It may help doctors learn more about the type of lung cancer and, in some cases, why targeted treatments stop working.
This study uses a blood test to look for tiny genetic markers (miRNA and DNA methylation) that may help detect lung cancer early. If you have a lung nodule or mass found on a CT scan and haven't had treatment yet, you may be able to join.
This study tests a new breath test to find early signs of lung cancer in people at high risk. It looks for cancer biomarkers in the air you breathe out. If you are a heavy smoker between 55 and 74, this trial may help detect lung cancer earlier.
This study is testing whether certain markers in your blood or tissue can help find lung cancer early. It is for people who have lung cancer that can be removed by surgery and haven't had treatment yet.
This study looks at whether combining lung images with a blood test (DNA methylation) can help find lung cancer early. It is for people who have a new diagnosis of lung cancer and have not had treatment yet, as well as for people without cancer as a comparison.
This study uses a simple breath test to look for chemical patterns that might help detect cancer. By analyzing your breath, researchers hope to find a non-invasive way to diagnose cancer earlier.
