Study Overview

Brief Summary

This study is a multi-center, observational study aiming at developing a machine learning-based early detection model using prospectively collected liquid biopsy samples from clinically-annotated individuals.

Detailed Description

Peripheral blood samples from participants with new diagnosis of pancreatic cancers will be collected to characterize the cancer-specific circulating signals by sequencing cell free DNA. A noninvasive test integrating machine learning algorithm will be trained and validated through a two-stage approach in recruited well-classified individuals, along with non-cancers without clinical diagnosis of cancer after routine medical screening. The performance of liquid biospy assays discovering cancer from non-cancer will be evaluated in participants with benign disease as well as average risk individuals.
