Early Detection of Cancer
Conditions
Keywords
Pan-cancer, cancer screening, ctDNA
Brief summary
This is a observational, multicenter study, monitoring the circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in people who is at risk of cancers，assessing the sensitivity and specificity of ctDNA detection in early screening of pan-carcinoma.
Detailed description
2000 patients with positive tumor protein markers or cancer screening were recruited. All patients were tested for ctDNA at enrollment and followed up at 6 months and 1 year. The study was completed at the time of cancer diagnosis or the longest follow-up time (1 year).

Ability to collect specimens from each time point and provide corresponding clinical information. 4. Understand the research plan and voluntarily participate in the study, sign the informed consent form.
Exclusion criteria

Patients with a known history of allogeneic organ transplantation or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. 5. Women who are pregnant or preparing for pregnancy. 6. Patients who voluntarily withdraw for any reason. 7. Patients who cannot complete the research plan
