Detecting lung nodule cancer with a blood test
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study aims to see if a blood test can tell if a lung nodule is cancerous or not. It may help doctors avoid unnecessary procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must be 18 years or older
- Have a lung nodule found on a CT scan of a certain size: solid or partly solid nodules between 5 and 20 mm, or ground-glass nodules between 8 and 30 mm
- Your nodule's status (benign or malignant) can be confirmed by standard methods
- No cancer treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy in the last 3 months
- Be able to provide a blood sample (about a teaspoon) before any treatment
- Willing to sign a consent form after the study is explained

This study uses advanced testing methods on lung nodules to better tell if they are benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). It may help improve diagnosis for people scheduled for surgery to remove a lung nodule.
This study tests whether a simple blood test can accurately identify whether a lung nodule (small spot) found on imaging is cancer or harmless. If it works, it could help doctors avoid unnecessary procedures and speed up diagnosis.
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.
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.
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.
