Simple blood test may predict lung cancer recurrence
NCT ID NCT07170046
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will follow 100 lung cancer patients after surgery to see if levels of CEA and ctDNA in the blood can predict whether the cancer comes back. Participants will have regular blood tests and imaging over two years. The goal is to catch recurrence earlier and tailor follow-up care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors predict lung cancer recurrence earlier after surgery, allowing for more timely and personalized treatment adjustments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It is small (100 people) and has not started recruiting yet, so results are uncertain and may not apply to all lung cancer patients.
