About this trial

In recent years, advances in protein post-translational modification (PTM) research have revealed histone succinylation as a novel epigenetic modification mechanism critically involved in tumor initiation, progression, and prognosis. Succinylation alters protein physicochemical properties and functions, thereby modulating cellular metabolism, proliferation, and apoptosis. Aberrant histone succinylation in tumor cells demonstrates significant correlations with tumor type, staging, and clinical outcomes, offering new avenues for early cancer diagnosis.

This project utilizes blood serum samples to quantify histone succinylation levels through modification-specific antibody-based detection. Integrated with clinical data, this approach enables early, rapid, and accurate pan-cancer diagnosis, achieving tumor screening via a single-tube blood test. It represents a paradigm shift in precision oncology from "gene-driven" to "epigenetic-metabolic-driven" early detection.
