Brief Summary

The development of precise and non-invasive diagnostic methods is a priority in areas such as gynaecology and oncology, and above all in improving the health of those patients with a surgical indication for hysterectomy, laparoscopic or laparotomic myomectomy for diagnosis of uterine tumours. Indeed, in the absence of an accurate and objective preoperative diagnostic option, all patients with suspected benign tumours should be considered at risk for occult leiomyosarcoma. Recently, the concept of "liquid biopsy" has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative to surgical biopsies for solid tumours with highly recurrent mutations, avoiding the sampling of tumour tissue before and after treatment. Generally, the liquid biopsy is obtained by taking a sample of blood or other body fluids, to provide tumour-specific information. Based on these premises, a prospective, observational and multicentre case-control study is proposed, the objective of which is to evaluate the diagnostic precision (sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value and positive predictive value) in the detection of molecular differences by liquid biopsy in patients with suspected myometrial tumour (leiomyoma / leiomyosarcoma). Depending on the results of these analysis, the application of this technology could allow the differential diagnosis of the tumour in a non-invasive and objective way, as well as the development of biomarkers and effective targeted therapies in the treatment of leiomyosarcomas. Consequently, we would also be increasing our knowledge of tumour biology and associated pathologies in a clinical and therapeutic context.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Diagnostic precision of uterine tumours at molecular level

    Sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value and positive predictive value of the molecular diagnosis of uterine tumours by liquid biopsy as a preoperative diagnosis, using pathological diagnosis as a "gold standard" to validate the molecular diagnosis.

    25 months

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Concordance of Circulating tumour DNA / RNA versus DNA / RNA in tumour

    25 months

  • Inter-observer variability

    25 months

  • Evaluation of Circulating tumour DNA / RNA profile for oncological outcome

    25 months

Study Arms (3)

Leiomyoma samples

Leiomyoma samples and peripheral blood samples obtained from women between 18 and 80 years with suspected myometrial tumour

Procedure: Collection of Leiomyoma samples

Leiomyosarcoma samples

Leiomyosarcoma samples and peripheral blood samples obtained from women between 18 and 80 years with suspected myometrial tumour

Procedure: Collection of Leiomyosarcoma samples

Control samples

Peripheral blood samples obtained from women between 18 and 80 years without suspected myometrial tumour

Procedure: Collection of control samples

Interventions

Peripheral blood will be collected from the candidate patient with suspected myometrial tumours, prior to the surgery already planned form medical indication in accordance with routine clinical practice. A sample of tumour tissue will be collected during surgery and sent to pathologists for diagnosis in accordance with the usual clinical practice. The tumour paraffin block/sections will be requested for the study only after the diagnosis.

Also known as: Obtainment of blood sample (peripheral blood) and tumour tissue sample
Leiomyoma samples

Peripheral blood will be collected from the candidate patient with suspected myometrial tumours, prior to the surgery already planned form medical indication in accordance with routine clinical practice. A sample of tumour tissue will be collected during surgery and sent to pathologists for diagnosis in accordance with the usual clinical practice. The tumour paraffin block/sections will be requested for the study only after the diagnosis.

Also known as: Obtainment of blood sample (peripheral blood) and tumour tissue sample
Leiomyosarcoma samples

Peripheral blood will be collected during an analysis or gynaecological consultation already planned by routine clinical practice. The sample will be sent to Igenomix for molecular analysis.

Control samples

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 80 Years
Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Women between 18 and 80 years old and with a body mass index (BMI) of 18.5-40.0 kg / m2, with suspected myometrial tumour (leiomyoma / leiomyosarcoma) based on clinical symptoms and imaging diagnosis, will be evaluated in their referral centre, verifying that they meet the inclusion / exclusion criteria to participate in the study. Women with the same age and BMI but without a uterine tumour will be used as control patients.

You may qualify if:

  • Patients who voluntarily sign the informed consent approved by the Research Ethics Committee (CEI) after having been duly informed of the nature of the study, before carrying out any test related to it, knowing the potential risks, benefits and discomforts derived from their participation. Participants should be informed that they may leave the study at any time, without this entailing any consequence for their subsequent medical care.
  • BMI = 18.5-40 kg / m2
  • Age = 18-80 years
  • Surgical indication according to usual clinical practice, due to suspicion of a tumour mass in the uterus, either primary (stages I-IV) or recurrence, but without prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy (at the time of primary diagnosis or prior to recurrence) .

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients who have participated in a clinical trial during the last 30 days unless it is approved by the sponsor as it does not interfere with the current study.
  • Patients who have received chemotherapy or radiotherapy before taking the sample (in case of recurrence).
  • Pregnant patients before or during the duration of the study.
  • Existence of serious or uncontrolled bacterial, fungal, or viral infections (type HPV, HIV, hepatitis) that, in the opinion of the principal investigator, could interfere with the participation of the patient in the study or in the evaluation of the study results.
  • Any disease or medical condition that is unstable or may jeopardize patient safety and compliance in the study. For example: patients with an active history of other malignant tumours.
  • Psychological, family, sociological or geographical situations that do not allow compliance with the protocol or the signing of informed consent.
  • Patients vaccinated with mRNA vaccines in the week before surgery.
