To test the disease free survival (DFS) prediction ability of the OncoDiscover diagnostic technology â?? a simple liquid biopsy blood test for cancer patients.

A prospective observational clinical trial with case control study design to test the prognostic ability of a proprietary OncoDiscoverTM diagnostic technology designed to capture and concentrate circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood samples of patients with various carcinomas and its use to predict progression free survival (PFS) and disease free survival (DFS). (PROGCTC)

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Ability of diagnostic technology for evaluation of CTC to predict PFS and DFS in patients suffering from breast, colorectal, esophageal / stomach, cervical, ovarian and loco-regional cancers. [Time Frame: 36 months].Timepoint: 36 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Agreement between CTC counts (3-4 weeks and 6-8 weeks) after the initiation of a new line of systemic therapy and the patients response as determined by CTC evaluation). [ Time Frame: 12 months] To correlate the data generated with TNM staging. [12 months]Timepoint: 12 months
