NCT ID NCT07554157
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to create a screening tool that uses common blood test results to detect various cancers early. Researchers will analyze data from 10 million cancer patients and healthy individuals, using machine learning to find patterns. The goal is a low-cost, non-invasive test suitable for widespread screening.
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 simple, affordable blood test that helps detect many types of cancer early, potentially improving survival rates.
- What could go wrong
- This is a retrospective study using existing data, not a prospective trial. The model may not perform as well in real-world settings or diverse populations. It is still in the development phase.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study population consists of two groups: (1) patients with pathologically confirmed cancer (including gastric, colorectal, liver, lung, ovarian, and other solid tumors) and (2) non-cancer controls (individuals undergoing routine health checkups without cancer or other major organic diseases). All participants are aged 18-80 years. Data are retrospectively collected from medical records across multiple centers in China.
