An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by CellMaxLife at 1 site in Taiwan.
Trial summary
Utilization of circulating-tumor-cell (CTC) and cell free DNA (cfDNA) as novel and noninvasive tests for diagnosis confirmation, therapy selection, and cancer surveillance is a rapidly growing area of interest. Read more about this study

About this study
Utilization of circulating-tumor-cell (CTC) and cell free DNA (cfDNA) as novel and noninvasive tests for diagnosis confirmation, therapy selection, and cancer surveillance is a rapidly growing area of interest. In the wake of FDA approval of a liquid biopsy test, it is important for clinicians to acknowledge the obvious clinical utility of liquid biopsy for cancer management throughout the course of the disease.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Control Group | Mammography/ultrasonography confirmed no findings. | |
| Cancer Group | The biopsy result is breast cancer. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The objective of this study is to demonstrate that CTC assay counts can distinguish between healthy subjects and malignant breast cancer subjects, including early stage breast cancer subjects.
Measured: 3 months
