Early Colorectal Cancer Detection Using Breath or Odor Analysis
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a new non-invasive way to detect colorectal cancer early using odor or breath samples and computer analysis. The goal is to find cancer or pre-cancer before symptoms develop, which could help catch these conditions when they're easier to treat.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old
- You have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer (any stage) OR have pre-cancerous polyps OR are healthy with no history of cancer
- You do not have hereditary cancer syndromes like familial adenomatous polyposis
- You do not have autoimmune diseases, severe heart/lung/kidney disease, or blood disorders
- You are willing to provide breath or odor samples and complete questionnaires
- You are not pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a simple urine sample can detect colorectal cancer or precancerous polyps. Researchers want to see if this non-invasive test could help identify people at risk before symptoms develop or catch cancer earlier.
This study collects breath samples from women with suspicious breast ultrasound findings (BI-RADS 4) before surgery to see if certain chemicals in the breath can help identify cancer. If you are scheduled for surgery soon, your breath may help researchers find a new way to screen for breast cancer.
This study tests a breath analysis (a sample you give by breathing into a device) to help detect or better understand colorectal cancer. It may help researchers see whether breath results can identify cancer sooner and in people who haven’t started treatment yet.
This study uses a simple breath test to look for chemical patterns that might help detect cancer. By analyzing your breath, researchers hope to find a non-invasive way to diagnose cancer earlier.
This study tests whether a simple breath test can help detect different types of gastrointestinal cancers earlier. If you have been recently diagnosed with one of these cancers or have concerning abdominal symptoms but clear test results, your breath may help teach us how to spot these cancers sooner.
This trial studies a simple breath test to detect cancers of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, and colon. It is for people who have been referred by their doctor for tests because they have symptoms that might be caused by cancer.
