Simple blood test could spot cancer early

NCT ID NCT06842615

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is testing a new blood test called PanTum Detect to see how well it can find early signs of cancer or pre-cancer. The test looks for certain markers in immune cells. Researchers will compare the blood test results with standard PET/CT scans in 134 adults—half with suspected or confirmed tumors, and half healthy volunteers. The goal is to see if the blood test is accurate enough to be used for early cancer detection.

PanTum Detect blood test
What this could lead to
If successful, this blood test could offer a simpler, less invasive way to screen for multiple types of cancer or pre-cancer at an early stage.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study (134 people) focused on accuracy, not treatment. The test may not be sensitive or specific enough, and results may not apply to the general population.
