An Exosome-Based Liquid Biopsy for the Differential Diagnosis of Primary Liver Cancer
Sponsor: City of Hope Medical Center
Summary
It is sometimes difficult to precisely understand whether a primary liver cancer is a hepatocellular carcinoma or a cholangiocarcinoma. The researchers will develop and validate a liquid biopsy, based on exosomal content analysis and powered by machine learning, to help clinicians differentiate these two cancers before surgery.
