The investigators of this study are developing a simple breath test to help detect gastrointestinal (gut) cancers earlier, including cancers of the oesophagus (food pipe), stomach, pancreas, liver and bowel. These cancers often cause non-specific symptoms that are similar to benign conditions, making early diagnosis difficult. Delays between the onset of symptoms and referral for a diagnostic test such as an endoscopy or a scan, can allow the cancer to progress. The breath test detects small molecules called volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are released in exhaled breath. Some of these VOCs are strongly associated with these cancers and may help identify high-risk patients who require urgent investigation. In practice, patients who come to their GP with concerning symptoms will be offered the breath test. If the test is positive, patients can be referred promptly for a diagnostic
