Brief Summary

Progastrin is a pro-hormone that, in physiological conditions, is maturated in gastrin in G cells of the stomach. The role of the gastrin is to stimulate the secretion of gastric acids during digestion. It is also important for the regulation of cell growth of the gastric mucosal. In a healthy person, progastrin is not detectable in the peripheral blood. However, progastrin is abnormally released in the blood of patients with different cancers (colorectal, gastric, ovarian, breast, cervix uterus, melanoma…) The gene GAST coding for progastrin is a direct target gene of the WNT/ß-catenin oncogenic pathway. The activation of this oncogenic pathway is an early event in cancer development. Chronic activation of the WNT/ß-catenin oncogenic pathway occurs in almost all human solid tumors and is a central mechanism in cancer biology that induces cellular proliferation, blocking of differentiation leading to primary tumor growth and metastasis formation. Progastrin measured in the peripheral blood of patients on treatments, could be a new powerful marker for diagnosis and prognosis at different stages.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • ROC curve AUC regarding diagnostic accuracy of progastrin levels at baseline in cancer patients compared to non-cancer controls

    Progastrin concentration in plasma samples will be measured with an ELISA Kit (CancerREAD LAB) provided by ECS Progastrin.

    At baseline

Secondary Outcomes (15)

  • Longitudinal kinetic of progastrin values during treatments, assessed by modeled kinetic parameters of interest

    6 years

  • Nycthemeral and weekly and post-operative progastrin variations

    every 3 hours within 24 hours for the Nycthemeral cohort, and every week for 2 or 3 weeks for the weekly cohort

  • Determinants of progastrin serum values: hepatic function

    6 years

  • Determinants of progastrin serum values: renal function

    6 years

  • Determinants of progastrin serum values: age

    at the inclusion

  • +10 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Cancer patients

OTHER

420 patients affected by different types of cancer and treated in a curative or a palliative intent. In total 17 cohorts will be open, including: breast cancer, head and neck carcinomas, renal cell carcinoma, prostate carcinoma, lung carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, thyroid cancer, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, ovarian adenocarcinoma, glioblastoma, endometrial adenocarcinoma, bladder carcinoma, oesophago-gastric carcinoma, B-cell lymphoma, gastric carcinomas. Patients enrolled in curative intent treatment cohorts will never have been previously treated for their cancer. Patients enrolled in non-curative intent treatment cohorts will have never been treated for their metastatic cancers previously, or have developed advanced/metastatic diseases as relapses of localized cancers previously treated with curative intent therapeutic strategies. Other cohort will be open (stability cohorts) : nychtemer cohort and post-operative kinetic cohort.

Other: Blood draws

Interventions

Blood draws are realized at each steps of patient disease management. The volume of each blood drawn is 25 mL for progastrin measurements and 5 mL for the dosage of the other tumor markers. The frequency depend to the cancer and treatment administered : * Baseline at diagnosis : Local radical treatment : within 24h before surgery, within 24h after surgery and at the post-surgery follow up visit * Chemotherapy treatment : every 3 or 4 weeks * Radiotherapy : start day and at the end of radiation ("end of treatment" visit) * Palliative systemic treatment (only palliative cohorts) : every 3 to 12 weeks. Follow until the third progression or change of treatment line, or alternatively up to 5 years after inclusion * In case of PD or TOX * Follow up: at each visit scheduled (every 3 months) for the first 2 years, then every 6 months for 3 years * Relapse : withdrawn from the study and last progastrin measurement. Patient could be enrolled in the non-curative intent cohort

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Indication of a treatment strategy with curative intent (surgery; radiotherapy; chemotherapy; hormonotherapy; targeted agents…)
  • Patient naïve of anticancer treatments for the considered cancer
  • A prior anti-cancer treatment is allowed if this treatment was performed with curative intent, and if it did not include systemic chemotherapy, and if a complete remission ≥ 6 months was observed in between the end of treatment and relapse. Previous local treatments for superficial lesions are allowed without any time restriction (for example among others, intravesical treatment for superficial bladder cancer lesions).
  • Indication of a treatment strategy with no curative intent (radiotherapy; chemotherapy; hormonotherapy; immunotherapy; targeted agents, non-curative surgery, …)
  • Breast carcinomas
  • All cohorts:
  • Invasive breast ductal carcinoma, or
  • Invasive breast lobular carcinoma
  • Curative intent treatment patient cohort:
  • Planned to be treated with surgery, with/without neo-adjuvant and/or adjuvant chemotherapy and/or anti-hormone treatment
  • Gastric carcinomas
  • All cohorts:
  • o Intestinal-type adenocarcinoma, or
  • o Diffuse cell type adenocarcinoma
  • Curative intent treatment patient cohort:
  • +62 more criteria
