简要总结
Anti-cancer treatments have been thought to be closely related to their unique genetic alterations. In the past few years, the investigator have used cDNA microarray to delineate the transcriptome profiles of differentially-expressed genes between OSCC tumors and normal epithelium. By supervised hierarachical clustering analysis, the investigator further analyzed and validated the differentially-expressed genes for OSCC tumors. In the investigators' previous research, the investigators have used this strategy to analyze the potential tissue proteins associated with OSCC tumors, indicating the feasibility of this strategy. However, gene detection is a great limitation and challenge in CTCs researches owing to the small number of isolated cells by traditional methods. Fortunately, by means of the investigators' developing high-purity CTCs isolation techniques, some preliminary data implied that isolated CTCs by this method could achieve the criteria of Whole-genome analysis (WGA), which brings the investigators' passion for further investigation.

Clinical Trial, Patient Enrollment and Design of Schedule
The Inclusion criteria and aims are as followings:
- Patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (n=180), with age at diagnosis ≥ 20 years, will be enrolled before surgery at Ear-Nose-Throat department inpatient or outpatient service by Dr. Liao, Dr. Hsieh, Dr. Wang and co-PIs.
- All patients will be subgrouped by pathologic features and risk factors Group A (n=90): OSCC, post-surgery, no need for any adjuvant therapy Group B (n=90): OSCC, post-surgery, with major risk factor(s) or 2 minor risk factors Stratification by Risk factors, alcohol, betel nut chewing and cigarette use status
- Testing: Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) (x4) and NGS for WGA and transcriptomes (x4)
- Endpoints: Loco-regional recurrence, one-year distant metastasis rate, death, second primary tumor occurrence.
- Exclusion criteria are: (1) Patient's refusal; (2) Poor compliance, cannot cooperate for blood sampling for CTCs isolation as time schedule or clinical treatment or follow-up (3) Difficult blood sampling; (4) No more needs for CTCs evaluation, decided by clinicians.
- Whole-Genome Analysis for Cancer Tissue Samples/Circulating Tumor Cells When needed, OncoScan™ FFPE Express Extraction will be performed
Requirements need to be observed when submitting FFPE slices:

结局指标
主要结局
Progression-free survival
时间窗: one year
Measure response or progression events via all available imaging studies, including Chest-Xray, CT scans, or MRI, Positron Emission Tomography(PET)study. The relationship between CTCs number and time from CTCs checkpoint to disease progression will be analyzed.
次要结局
- Overall survival(one year)
