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.

Trial groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Evaluate the positive rate of serum histone succinylation in patients with malignant solid tumors
Evaluate the positive rate of serum histone succinylation in malignant solid tumor patients versus healthy individuals through Western blot analysis, quantify the percentage difference between the two groups, and thereby validate its potential for early cancer screening
Secondary outcomes
Define the relationship between histone succinylation modifications in serum and different tumor types as well as tumor staging
Analyze the relationship between histone succinylation modifications in serum and therapeutic efficacy (specifically surgery, radiotherapy, and systemic therapy)。
