About this trial
The phenotype of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is supposed to be significant indicator that is correlated the prognosis of breast cancer patients who have completed neoadjuvant chemotherapy, primary tumor surgery with/without adjuvant chemotherapy. The aim of this observational study is to assess the efficacy of CTCs surveillance in predicting the prognosis of breast cancer patients.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
The age is more than 18 years old;
Pathology confirmed malignant breast tumor;
No clinical diagnosis of other malignancies, unstable complications or uncontrolled infection;
Life expectancy is greater than 6 month;
Disqualifiers
Patients who had suffered from other malignant tumors;
With uncontrolled bacterial, viral or fungal infections;

Trial population
Early stage breast cancer patients
Trial design
Cohort
Retrospective
Treatments tested in this trial
CTC detection
Diagnostic testCTCs separation and enrichment technology. Combined with the prognosis of patients with recurrence and survival time, we explored the evaluation of CTC number, cell phenotype distribution, PDL1 and FOXC2 expression on the prognosis of early stage breast cancer patients. The research results are expected to provide a new effective index and theoretical basis for evaluating the treatment efficacy of breast cancer patients.
