Blood test to help identify lung nodules as cancer or benign
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a newly detected lung nodule that your doctor suspects might be cancer
- You have been referred to the lung infiltrate unit for evaluation
- You do not currently have any active cancer (except non-melanoma skin cancer)
- You do not have serious health conditions that would prevent you from completing follow-up appointments and getting a final diagnosis
- You are able and willing to sign an informed consent form

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 trial studies a blood test to help tell if a spot on your lung found by a PET-CT scan is cancer or not. It might help avoid unnecessary procedures in the future.
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 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 tests a blood test that helps doctors figure out if a lung nodule is likely to be cancer. The test may help avoid unnecessary procedures for people with suspicious but not clearly cancerous nodules.
