Breath test for liver cancer detection
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 trial tests a new blood test to help detect liver cancer (HCC) or confirm it’s not present in people with cirrhosis who are being monitored. It may help improve how doctors screen for liver cancer and decide who needs further imaging or treatment.
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 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 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 tests a special breathalyser (VosCryo) to see if it can detect signs of lung cancer in exhaled breath. If you have advanced lung cancer or are a healthy companion, you may help understand how breath samples can be used for diagnosis or monitoring.
