Tiny cancer DNA in blood after surgery for solid tumors
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at tiny amounts of cancer DNA left in the blood after surgery for solid tumors. It aims to understand how well surgery works and if more treatment is needed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You are scheduled for surgery that aims to cure your cancer

- You have not had another cancer treated in the last 2 years
- You are willing to give blood samples before and after surgery

This study looks for tiny bits of tumor DNA in your blood after surgery to see if it can help guide future treatment. It's for people who had surgery first (not chemotherapy before surgery) and have not seen the cancer spread.
This study checks whether a special blood test (ctDNA) taken before and after surgery can predict whether non-small cell lung cancer will come back. If it works, it may help doctors spot recurrence earlier and guide follow-up care after tumor removal.
This study uses a special blood test to look for tiny traces of lung cancer after surgery. It aims to find “minimal residual disease,” meaning cancer cells that may still be hiding after your tumor is removed.
This study checks if a blood test can find leftover cancer DNA after stomach cancer surgery. It helps doctors know if more treatment is needed.
This study uses a blood test called ctDNA to look for leftover lung cancer after surgery. Based on that result, the trial will help decide which treatment approach is best for you and may catch cancer returning earlier.
This study looks for cancer-related material in blood, urine, and sometimes bone marrow. It may help researchers understand how to detect cancer activity and track it over time using less invasive tests.
