Microplastics and stomach cancer risk study
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This research examines whether tiny plastic particles in the body are linked to stomach cancer development. Researchers will compare microplastic exposure in people with different stages of stomach issues—from inflammation to early changes to cancer—to understand if plastics play a role.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18–75 years old
- Diagnosed within the last 3 months with stomach inflammation, pre-cancerous stomach changes, or stomach cancer (first diagnosis)
- Have recent test results showing whether you have Helicobacter pylori bacteria
- Able to complete questionnaires independently and understand study information
- Never had cancer elsewhere in your body
- No previous stomach surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks for certain stomach bacteria (other than the common H. pylori) that might be linked to stomach diseases or early signs of cancer. If you have a stomach condition, your participation could help doctors understand these bacteria better.
This trial looks at adults with stomach lining changes—either atrophic gastritis or intestinal metaplasia—and studies how to predict who may be at risk for stomach cancer. It may help earlier identification and closer monitoring for people with these conditions.
This study follows patients with pre-cancerous stomach conditions to learn more about how they progress. By collecting health information over time, researchers hope to improve early detection and treatment of stomach cancer.
This trial looks at tiny pieces of DNA found outside cells in stomach tissue to better understand how gastric (stomach) cancer starts and progresses. It may help future patients by improving how doctors study stomach cancer from biopsy and surgical samples.
This study looks for microplastics in pancreatic tissue removed during surgery. It aims to understand how these tiny plastic particles might affect pancreatic diseases, including cancer and metabolic disorders.
This study collects health information from people at different stages of stomach cancer risk, including those with precancerous changes, healthy individuals, and those with early stomach cancer. The goal is to better understand and prevent stomach cancer.
