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 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.
This study looks at how certain “volatile” substances in breath change in people with stomach or food-pipe (oesophageal) cancer, compared with people who have other non-cancer stomach/food-pipe conditions. It may help researchers find better, earlier ways to assess cancer—especially in people who have not started treatment yet.
This study is for people who have had surgery for stomach or esophagus adenocarcinoma and are already part of a larger study called BIORESOURCE 1. It looks at certain substances in your breath and blood over time to learn more about recovery.
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 is testing whether a simple breath and blood test can help doctors better understand gastro-esophageal cancer and Barrett's esophagus. It aims to see if these non-invasive samples can provide useful information for diagnosis and monitoring.
