Breath test for digestive system cancers
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial studies a simple breath test to detect cancers of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, and colon. It is for people who have been referred by their doctor for tests because they have symptoms that might be caused by cancer.

This study aims to learn how to detect problems in the upper digestive tract earlier. People may be asked to help with diagnosis while they are already undergoing routine tests or treatment, which could improve future care.
This study tests whether a simple breath test can help detect different types of gastrointestinal cancers earlier. If you have been recently diagnosed with one of these cancers or have concerning abdominal symptoms but clear test results, your breath may help teach us how to spot these cancers sooner.
This study tests a breath analysis (a sample you give by breathing into a device) to help detect or better understand colorectal cancer. It may help researchers see whether breath results can identify cancer sooner and in people who haven’t started treatment yet.
This study tests a simple breath test to detect liver cancer and monitor liver health. It is looking for patients with liver cancer, liver cirrhosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, or people with normal livers to see if the breath test can help tell the difference.
This trial tests whether a simple breath test can help detect pancreatic cancer earlier. If you have been referred for possible pancreatic cancer, you may be able to take part.
This study looks at chemicals in your breath to see if they can help detect a type of esophageal cancer (squamous cell carcinoma) early. You may join if you have untreated squamous cell esophageal cancer, or if you are having a routine endoscopy for stomach issues and your results are normal or show a benign condition.
