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.

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.
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.
Interventions
Proprietary immunogenomic signature from peripheral blood CD14 and CD2 cells.
Eligibility Criteria
Patients presenting to the Duke Cancer Center for evaluation by Medical or Surgical Oncology of a newly diagnosed breast cancer Patients presenting to Duke Radiology for routine screening mammogram
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.
