Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Analysis of ctDNA for early detection in cancer high-risk population.

    To evaluate the sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value of ctDNA for screening in high-risk population. Including the following six types of cancer: hepatocellular carcinoma, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer and gastric cancer.

    1 year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Window period from ctDNA positive to cancer diagnosis.

    1 year

  • Patients with viral hepatitis (Hepatitis B / C surface antigen positive with liver function damage.
  • Patients with liver nodules detected by ultrasound and hemangioma excluded.
  • Patients with compensated cirrhosis.
  • CA125\>35U/ml and HE4 was abnormal (the reference value of HE4 in premenopausal and postmenopausal women was 68.96 pmol/L and 114.90 pmol/L respectively).
  • Patients with ovarian masses found by ultrasonography (premenopausal \> 5cm, postmenopausal \> 3.5cm).
  • Patients with pancreatic space-occupying found by ultrasonography.

  • Patients with a positive fecal occult blood test and positive CEA
  • +3 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with previous or present cancer.
  • Patients with serious diseases, especially those with a survival period of less than 3 years.
  • Patients with factors that affect the diagnosis of the disease (such as MRI related cardiac pacemakers, ferromagnetic implants, etc.).
  • Patients with a known history of allogeneic organ transplantation or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
  • Women who are pregnant or preparing for pregnancy.
