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 volunteers

Qualifiers

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;

With physical or mental disorders

Without or limited civil capacity;

Trial population

Early stage breast cancer patients

Trial design

Design model

Cohort

Time perspective

Retrospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • CTC detection

    Diagnostic test

    CTCs 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.
