Brief Summary

LEAH is a prospective, observational, single-centre, non-randomised, open-label study of people at increased risk of cancer or malignant disease.

The main objective of LEAH is to evaluate and compare the sensitivity of different tests on body fluids to detect cancers that will occur within 3 years of inclusion in the study, in a cohort of individuals identified as being at increased risk of cancer.

Conditions

Risk of Breast Cancer; Risk of Gynaecological Cancer; Risk of Colorectal Cancer; Risk of Upper Gastrointestinal Cancers; Risk of Hepatic Cancers; Risk of Lung Cancer; Risk of Skin Cancers Except Basal-cell Carcinomas; Risk of Head and Neck Cancers; Risk of Mesothelioma; Risk of Kidney Cancer; Risk of Prostate Cancer; Risk of Urothelial Cancers; Risk of Endocrine Cancers; Risk of Hematologic Malignancies; Risk of Several Cancer Types; Risk of Second Malignancy in Individuals Treated for a Childhood Cancer; Risk of Neoplasia

Study Design

• Allocation Method: NON_RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: OTHER
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

individuals at low risk of invasive cancer

A cohort of individuals who are not considered at increased risk (low risk) of cancer seen in consultation for a problem defined as benign will also be recruited and be used for certain secondary and exploratory objectives.

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

biological samples

Intervention Type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

biological samples (blood, urine, saliva, stools in option)

individuals at high risk of invasive cancer

Individuals with an estimated risk ≥ 4% of occurrence of any invasive cancer or malignancy (except for basal cell carcinoma of the skin) in the following three years after inclusion will be proposed the trial. This 4% cumulative risk represents the addition of i. the participant's general risk of any cancer or malignancy based on her/his age and ii. her/his risk of a specific malignancy based on her/his risk profile.
