About this trial

No validated biomarkers exist that can identify patients with biliary tract cancer at an early stage or predict treatment outcomes. The objective of the present study is to find diagnostic, prognostic and predictive biomarkers.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Histological or cytological diagnosis of BTC

Patients referred for treatment of BTC

Signed informed consent

Disqualifiers

None

Trial population

The study will include patients with BTC referred for oncological treatment (adjuvant, neoadjuvant, or palliative setting \[any treatment line\]) at the Department of Oncology, Herlev \& Gentofte Hospital, Denmark and patients referred for surgery at Rigshospitalet (Denmark). The two sites are responsible for all treatment of BTC in eastern Denmark, a region with a population of almost 2.7 million.
