First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a substance in the blood called anti-CD146 can help doctors find lung diseases caused by breathing in silica dust at work. Silica exposure can lead to serious lung problems like scarring and cancer, but there is no easy test to catch it early. Researchers will compare 110 people with and without silica exposure to see if this blood marker is a useful tool for early diagnosis.
