Brief summary

A prospective study was used to collect patients considering breast cancer admitted to our general surgery department from 2019-6 to 2023-8, to identify the case group (breast cancer) and the control group (non-breast cancer), to compare the differences in CTC in peripheral blood between the two groups, and to draw conclusions after statistical analysis.

Detailed description

This project is a prospective study by collecting clinical data from breast cancer and non-breast cancer patients admitted to our general surgery department from 2020 to 2023, and drawing peripheral blood for CTC testing. The clinical data of 200 patients were initially collected and grouped, with the study group positioned as breast cancer patients (patients with pathologically determined breast cancer) and the control group as non-breast cancer patients (patients with benign breast tumors and healthy women), to investigate the expression of CTC in breast cancer and correlation with the degree of metastasis, as well as to further understand the relationship between CTC in peripheral blood and breast cancer clinicopathology. The circulating tumor cell enrichment was compared between the two groups, and the data were derived for statistical analysis to draw conclusions, as well as to identify shortcomings and make improvements to the existing problems.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTPeripheral blood sampling for circulating tumor cells

Patients had 3-4 ml of venous blood drawn on day 1 after admission, ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) was used for anticoagulation, samples were stored at 4 ℃, and CTCs analysis was performed within 24 hours after collection. .FU/3 ml was used as the unit for CTC quantification.
