In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This is a combined prospective and retrospective observational study aiming to validate a highly sensitive and specific blood-based method for the early diagnosis and post-treatment monitoring of multiple cancers. The study leverages a newly developed sequencing method to improve the detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in blood, focusing on enhancing sensitivity and specificity in clinical applications. The study targets patients with ovarian, lung, pancreatic, colorectal, esophageal, breast, kidney, bladder, and gastric cancer, as well as healthy controls with asymptomatic gallstones, benign polyps, or individuals undergoing routine medical screening. Blood samples will be analyzed for cell-free DNA (cfDNA), RNA, and protein profiles. A key objective is to determine how much the newly developed method increases the sensitivity and specificity of ctDNA detection, especially in ea
