Phenotypic Spectrum of CTCs in Tumors of the Female Reproductive System
Sponsor: Tomsk National Research Medical Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Summary
The study evaluates the level and molecular profiles of different CTC populations as markers for predicting the risk of developing hematogenous metastases and the effectiveness of treatment in patients with tumors of the female reproductive system (breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and ovarian cancer). The primary objective are: 1. To assess the presence and number of different populations of CTCs at different time points (before biopsy, before surgery, and after surgery). 2. To assess the relationships of different CTCs populations prior to treatment initiation with the effects of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and the risks of recurrence and metastases. 3. To assess the molecular profiles of different CTCs populations in the blood and in ascitic fluid. The secondary objective is to compare the multicolor flow cytometry results with data of ultrasound, CT and/or MRI, serum tumor markers, and immunohistochemical studies in patients with breast cancer, endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer
