U.S., July 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07714538) titled 'BREATH RESEARCH NARROW VALIDATION FOR GASTROINTESTINAL CANCER DETECTION' on July 15.
Brief Summary: We are developing a simple breath test to help detect gastrointestinal (gut) cancers earlier, including cancers of the oesophagus (food pipe), stomach, pancreas, liver and bowel. These cancers often cause non-specific symptoms that are similar to benign conditions, making early diagnosis difficult. Delays between the onset of symptoms and referral for a diagnostic test such as an endoscopy or a scan, can allow the cancer to progress.
The breath test detects small molecules called volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are released in...
