Detecting lung cancer in non-smokers through urine
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a simple urine test to help detect lung cancer in people who have never smoked but have a lung spot (nodule) on their CT scan. It may lead to a new, non-invasive way to check for cancer without needing a biopsy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a lung spot (at least 6 mm wide) found on a recent CT scan.
- You have never smoked (or smoked fewer than 100 cigarettes in your lifetime).
- You can provide a urine sample (20–50 ml) in a sterile container.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you have not been treated for any cancer before.

This study tests a breath test to detect lung cancer early in people with a lung nodule found on a CT scan. It aims to improve detection in diverse populations.
This trial uses a new, non-invasive way to screen for lung cancer by combining your breath, blood, and CT scan images. The goal is to figure out whether a nodule found on a CT scan is cancerous or not, which could help patients avoid unnecessary procedures.
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 looks at lung nodules found on CT scans. Researchers will collect data from your breathing tests and CT scans to better understand how these nodules relate to lung cancer.
This study tests whether combining low-dose chest CT scans with blood “biomarker” tests can help find lung cancer earlier in people at higher risk. You may be asked to have scans and blood tests and then attend follow-up visits over time.
