Stomach fluid test could revolutionize gastric cancer diagnosis
NCT ID NCT07332104
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study explores a new way to diagnose gastric cancer by analyzing tiny particles called extracellular vesicles found in stomach fluid. Researchers will collect stomach fluid from 100 patients undergoing gastroscopy and use a special sensor to detect cancer-related changes. The goal is to see if this method can accurately identify gastric cancer, potentially offering a less invasive diagnostic option.
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 lead to a less invasive, more accurate way to diagnose gastric cancer early, potentially improving patient outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage diagnostic study with only 100 participants. The new method may not prove more effective than current biopsy techniques, and results may not apply to all populations.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients underwent gastroscopy and treatment at the Endoscopy Center of Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, and received pathological biopsy. * Previous gastroscopy suggested the possibility of lesions. * No previous history of gastrointestinal cancer. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients could not cooperate with the examination or had contraindications to endoscopy. * Previous history of gastrointestinal tumors, gastrointestinal surgery, physical and chemical injuries of the gastrointestinal tract. * Severe bile reflux. * Take simethicone and other defoaming agents before examination. * Patients with serious diseases of heart, lung, kidney, brain, blood and other important organs.
