Blood test for early lung cancer detection
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is testing a new blood test that looks for DNA from lung cancer cells in your blood. It aims to see if the test can find lung cancer early, even before symptoms start.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 80 years old.
- You are either a current or former heavy smoker (at least 20 pack-years) and quit within the last 15 years, or you are a never/light smoker with a close family member who had lung cancer.
- You are willing to have a low-dose CT scan of your chest for lung cancer screening.
- You are willing to give a blood sample for the study before any procedures or treatment.
- You have not had lung cancer or another cancer (except for certain skin cancers removed more than a year ago).

This study is testing a new blood test to help diagnose lung cancer by looking at certain markers in your DNA. Researchers want to see if this test can accurately find lung cancer, which could lead to earlier detection.
This study uses a simple blood test to look for early signs of lung cancer in people who have suspicious spots (nodules) found on their lungs. The blood test checks for cancer DNA and changes in how genes are marked, which may help doctors know if a nodule is cancer or not.
This study is testing a new blood test that looks for changes in DNA to detect lung cancer early. It's for people with a new lung cancer diagnosis, those with uncertain CT scan results, healthy volunteers, or those with chronic lung problems.
This study is evaluating a blood-based test that might detect lung cancer early, before symptoms appear. Researchers are looking for heavy smokers who have no signs of cancer, as well as those with suspicious lung nodules or confirmed lung cancer, to see if a simple blood draw could help identify cancer sooner.
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 checks whether a blood test (a liquid biopsy) can be used along with standard lung cancer screening to find lung cancer early in people at higher risk. It may help see if the blood test is practical and useful for screening—without needing symptoms.
