Brief Summary

Differential immunogenomic signatures from peripheral blood CD14 (phagocytic) and CD2 (non-phagocytic) cells have been associated with multiple cancers and disease states. In particular several large clinical studies at Immunis.AI have demonstrated robust immunogenomic signatures in early-stage prostate cancer. Immunis.AI therefore hypothesizes that a peripheral blood immunogenomic signature will identify patients with various stages of breast cancer from healthy negative controls.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Primary Aim

    To determine if differential gene expression between peripheral blood phagocytic and non-phagocytic immune cells can distinguish breast cancer patients from cancer-negative controls.

    12 months

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Secondary Aim 1

    12 months

  • Secondary Aim 2

    12 months

  • Secondary Aim 3

    12 months

Study Arms (2)

Controls: Patients with negative screening MMG

Patients presenting to Duke Radiology for routine screening mammogram will be screened for eligibility as negative controls. Study enrollment for negative controls presumes that patients do not receive their screening mammography results immediately. Patients will be approached on the day of their first new patient visit to the Duke Cancer Center. If they are willing, they will be consented in clinic, and directed down to the lab for their first blood draw.

Diagnostic Test: Blood test

Cases: Patients with known cancer diagnosis

Patients presenting to the Duke Cancer Center for evaluation by Medical or Surgical Oncology of a newly diagnosed breast cancer will be screened for study eligibility and approached, enrolled, and consented accordingly. Patients will be approached on the day of their first new patient visit to the Duke Cancer Center. If they are willing, they will be consented in clinic, and directed down to the lab for their first blood draw.

Diagnostic Test: Blood test

You may qualify if:

  • Patients \> 18 yrs of age.
  • Patients diagnosed with stage I-IV breast cancer, who have not begun definitive therapy.
  • Patients undergoing screening mammograms for breast cancer.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with a history of a different cancer within the previous 3 years (except non melanoma skin cancer).
  • Any prior treatment (surgery, chemo, hormonal, radiation, biologics, etc.) for current cancer.
  • Any biopsy which resulted in the entire tumor tissue being removed.
  • History of previous breast cancer.
  • Patients unable to provide informed consent.
  • Patients with an abnormal screening mammogram.
  • Patients whose hormone receptor and/or HER2 status are not available.
