First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a specific antibody in the blood (anti-CD146) can help doctors diagnose 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 simple test to detect it early. Researchers will compare 110 people with and without silica exposure to see if the antibody is more common in those exposed.
