Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Area underneath the receiver operating characteristic function (AUC) of spectral features (GMFs) for discriminating blood samples of patients with confirmed liver cancer, colorectal cancer, cholangiocellular adenocarcinoma and pancreatic cancer. Spectral features are derived using laser-based infrared spectrosopy.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
