Research Study – Breath Study

Research Study – Breath Analysis for Diagnosis of Oesophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC)
We are engaged in a collaborative effort with a clinical research fellow, Ms Sameera Sharma, from Professor G Hanna’s team at the Department of Surgery and Cancer, located at Hammersmith Hospital. The objective is to develop a breath study that can effectively detect oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) at an early stage. The study will be conducted across multiple centres in the United Kingdom and will involve the recruitment of both OSCC patients and non-cancer controls.
To ensure the study’s success, we are seeking to establish a project advisory group comprising members of the public. Their valuable insights and personalised input will be instrumental in shaping the study’s direction. This group will play a pivotal role in the ongoing management of the study.
Please see attached information for more details:
