Faster cancer testing for organ donors
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a faster method to check organs from deceased donors for cancer, helping doctors decide if they can be safely used for transplant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an organ donor who has been declared legally dead by brain or cardiac death
- Doctors suspect you may have had cancer
- Your organs or tissues are being sent for a same-day exam

This study looks at new ways to check if a donated liver is healthy before transplantation. By examining tiny tissue samples taken before and after a special cold perfusion treatment, researchers hope to find better markers that predict how well the liver will work after transplant.
This study tests a special way to preserve donated livers before transplant to see if it reduces the chance of liver cancer coming back after surgery.
This trial is testing a new cooling device, called the Precise Cooler, that keeps donor hearts at the right temperature while they are being transported to the hospital. The goal is to improve how donor hearts are preserved, which may help the transplant be more successful.
This study tests a new way to check donated livers that other transplant centers have turned down. The goal is to see if these livers can be safely used for people on the waiting list, potentially increasing the number of available organs.
This trial tests a new way to preserve donated livers before transplant, which may help people with severe liver disease get a transplant sooner. It may be an option for patients with certain cancers or urgent liver failure.
This study looks at whether a specialized blood test can help doctors better assess lung cancer. It may be helpful if you are an adult who can safely participate and provide a sample for testing.
