Discovering cancer early in at-risk adults
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to find cancer early in adults who have signs or symptoms that might be cancer. It may help people get diagnosed sooner and start treatment faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 22 years old or older.
- You have signs or symptoms that could be cancer (like a lump, cough, or pain).
- You are having imaging tests (like a CT scan or ultrasound) because of these signs or symptoms.
- You have not been diagnosed with any invasive cancer in the past 3 years.
- You do not have active cancer that is being treated right now (taking hormone therapy for breast or prostate cancer is okay).

This study looks at how a blood test called Galleri (and also how it compares when people have not yet had it) works for older adults with Medicare. It may help find whether the test can improve cancer detection or follow-up for people who are not already in urgent cancer workups.
This study is testing a new blood test to help doctors find cancer earlier. If you are 45 or older and have symptoms that might be cancer, or were recently diagnosed with cancer, you may be able to join.
This study checks whether a lab test using your urine and blood (plasma) can detect signs of cancer early in people who don’t have symptoms. It compares people with newly found cancer to people without cancer to see how accurate the test is.
This study tests a blood test that looks for signs of cancer early in people without symptoms. It aims to see how well the test works in real-world settings.
This trial tests a new screening tool that helps doctors find cancer. It involves completing medical exams and questionnaires. The study is for people who have not had cancer in the last 5 years.
