Investigate the Prognostic and Predictive Value of Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA) During Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer.
This is a prospective and observational study, aiming to determine the detection rate and change of CtDNA in blood samples of cancer patients before, during and after neoadjuvant treatment.
* Determine the rate of ctDNA positivity at the time before treatment, * Determine the rate of ctDNA positivity at the time during treatment, * Determine the rate of ctDNA positivity at the time after neoadjuvant therapy, whether there is a change in ctDNA expression of the study population during treatment.
And aiming to investigate the relationship between ctDNA expression and MRI imaging with pCR response in neo-adjuvant therapy:
* Correlation between ctDNA detection and pCR response. Determine the percentage of Positive Prediction Value - PPV, Negative Prediction Value - NPV of ctDNA, * Correlation between MRI imaging and pCR response. Determination of PPV, NPV of MRI * Combination of ctDNA detection and MRI imaging in the prognosis of pCR. Determination of PPV, NPV ratio of ctDNA combined with MRI.
Inclusion: Female,18 years old and older,; Are diagnosed with stage II-III HER2+/Triple Negative breast cancer and indicated for neoadjuvant chemotherapy,; FFPE sample is available at the time of diagnosis and operation,; Are voluntary to participate in the study.
Exclusion: Recurrent breast cancer,; Other cancer metastasis to the breast,; Have been or are being treated for cancer,; Patients did not agree to participate in the studies.
