Cheek swab light test for lung cancer risk
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial uses a simple cheek swab and a special light test to look for signs of lung cancer risk. It aims to help doctors decide who needs more testing, especially if you have symptoms or are currently being checked for lung cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have symptoms of lung cancer or are being checked for it.

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 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 microscope that quickly analyzes lung tissue during a bronchoscopy or surgery. It may help doctors make faster, more accurate decisions about your care.
This study tests whether combining low-dose chest CT scans with blood “biomarker” tests can help find lung cancer earlier in people at higher risk. You may be asked to have scans and blood tests and then attend follow-up visits over time.
This study tests a breath test to detect lung cancer early in people with a lung nodule found on a CT scan. It aims to improve detection in diverse populations.
This study looks for early signs of lung cancer in people at higher risk. It tests blood and imaging to find markers that might help detect lung cancer sooner.
