Detecting early liver, biliary tract, and pancreatic cancers

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

LIBRARY is a prospective, multi-center, observational study designed to identify early-stage liver, biliary tract, and pancreatic cancers. The study combines assays of cell-free DNA methylation, serum protein, and microRNA to enhance detection accuracy. Approximately 458 participants with confirmed cancers, 330 individuals with benign diseases, and 820 healthy participants will be enrolled to evaluate the effectiveness of these biomarkers. Blood samples will be collected for analysis.
