Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary objective of this study is the accuracy of IMF diagnosis for nine cancer entities, assessed by comparison with all data available to the investigator. A diagnoses is regarded as correct if IMF and clinical routine assessing all available data coincide with regard to the nine tumor entities of interest.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1) Capability to reproduce or improve the results of the pilot study 2) Capability of IMF to recognize sub-types of tumors and tumor stages 3) Capability of IMF to distinguish between patients with any tumors on the one hand and healthy subjects and patients with benign diseases on the other one 4) Reliability of IMF with regard to sensibility, specificity, PNT and PPT 5) Accuracy of IMF as compared with a conventional FTIR Analyzer 6) Gain additional information on IMFs: defining cancer-independent and cancer-dependent parts of IMFs in longitudinal observations
