Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with either metastatic breast cancer or non-metastatic invasive breast cancer who have not yet received treatment.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with other types of cancer or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study focuses on the use of liquid biopsy to detect and quantify circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with breast cancer. Utilizing ScreenCell technology, it aims to monitor the evolution of CTCs during the follow-up phase of breast cancer treatment. By identifying and characterizing these cells, the study seeks to provide insights into the stage and molecular characteristics of the cancer. Participants include those with metastatic and non-metastatic breast cancer, as well as healthy volunteers for comparison.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the monitoring and management of breast cancer by providing noninvasive insights into tumor progression.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies utilizing liquid biopsy techniques have shown promise in cancer monitoring, suggesting potential success for this approach.
