Lung cancer detection using a blood test for early signs
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a lung nodule or mass found on a CT scan and are scheduled for a procedure (like surgery) to address it, OR you had a recent CT scan showing no concerning nodules
- You have not received any treatment for the lung finding yet
- You have never been diagnosed with cancer before
- You are not currently pregnant
- You have not had a blood transfusion (except your own blood) in the last 2 months

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks for new “epigenetic” signals in blood (signals about how genes are turned on/off) to help detect lung cancer early. You might be able to join if you are being evaluated for possible lung cancer or have small, unclear spots on a lung CT scan.
This study is testing a new way to help find lung cancer earlier by combining imaging (like CT scans) with a blood test that looks at DNA changes. If you have lung cancer and haven't started treatment yet, participating may help improve future detection methods.
This study is testing whether certain markers in your blood or tissue can help find lung cancer early. It is for people who have lung cancer that can be removed by surgery and haven't had treatment yet.
This study looks at whether a new test can better identify early lung cancer in people who are being watched for an incidental lung nodule. It may help doctors decide which nodules need closer follow-up or treatment.
This study is testing a new blood test that looks for signs of lung cancer in your blood platelets. If you have a lung nodule that needs further testing or have been diagnosed with lung cancer, this test might help doctors find cancer earlier.
This trial uses a simple blood test to look at certain genetic markers that may help doctors decide if a lung nodule is cancerous or not. It is designed for people who have a lung nodule that needs further testing like a biopsy or surgery.
