Detection of CTC and ctDNA in the Diagnosis of Metastasis in Gastric Cancer (CTC_ctDNA)

January 13, 2022 updated by: Kai Li, First Hospital of China Medical University

Application of the Detection of Circulating Tumor Cell and Circulating Tumor DNA in the Diagnosis of Metastasis in Gastric Cancer

To investigate the value of CTCs and ctDNA in the diagnosis of metastasis in ascites/peritoneal flushing fluid and blood; To investigate the influence of laparoscopic CO2 pneumoperitoneum establishment on peritoneal and hematogenous metastasis of advanced gastric cancer; To explore the influence of the number and type of CTCs and ctDNA on metastasis and prognosis.
