Stomach fluid test for detecting stomach cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at stomach fluid to find early signs of stomach cancer using a special new sensor. It may help doctors detect cancer sooner, but you must be having an endoscopy anyway.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have had an upper endoscopy (a test with a camera to look at your stomach) and a biopsy (tissue sample) at the study hospital.
- Your stomach lining must appear abnormal during that endoscopy, suggesting a possible problem.
- You must not have had cancer of the stomach or digestive tract before.
- You must not have serious heart, lung, kidney, brain, or blood conditions.
- You must not have severe bile reflux (bile backing up into the stomach).
- You must not have taken simethicone (a gas-relief medication) before the procedure.

This trial is looking for proteins in the blood that could help find stomach cancer earlier. If you have stomach cancer or are at risk, joining may help improve future diagnosis, and you'll have your blood drawn for testing.
This trial studies a simple blood test that may help doctors predict if your digestive cancer (stomach, colon, or pancreatic) has spread to the lining of the belly. The goal is to better plan your treatment and avoid unnecessary surgery.
This study tests whether looking for certain DNA changes in the fluid from your belly can help doctors find stomach cancer that has spread. The goal is to make standard tests more accurate so treatment can be better planned.
This study is testing whether a simple blood test can help find stomach cancer early, before symptoms appear. This could offer a less invasive way to detect the disease compared to a scope procedure.
This study is looking for people with stomach discomfort who are coming to this hospital for an endoscopy. Researchers will use the test results to help catch stomach cancer early and keep an eye on it after surgery.
This study tests a new stool (poop) sample test that looks for DNA changes and a bacteria called H. pylori. It may help find early warning signs of stomach cancer and could lead to a simpler way to check for risk.
