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 trial tests which of two medical devices works better at reconditioning donor lungs before transplant. It may help people waiting for a lung transplant receive healthier lungs.
This study is testing whether a quick look at small liver samples during cold machine perfusion can help doctors tell if the organ is healthy enough for transplant. If it works, this method could improve transplant success by catching problems early.
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 tests a new cooling method to safely transport donor hearts. It is for people receiving only a heart transplant (no other organs at the same time).
This study tests whether a special way of moving blood through the donor abdomen before surgery can improve liver (and other organ) transplant quality. It may help because doctors can check how well the liver seems to be working before it’s actually used.
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.
