项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to use an antibody-coated microfluidic surface-capture device, the Herringbone CTC-chip, to isolate hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from venous blood. Successful isolation of these cells from the venous blood of HCC patients has the potential to substantially improve current medical practice by enabling early detection and monitoring of therapy in HCC patients. Survival from HCC is entirely dependent on early detection whether its detection of the primary tumor or recurrence after treatment. Screening, early diagnosis and detection of recurrence have been formidable challenges and despite massive worldwide research efforts, the five-year survival rate of HCC patients remains to be poor. We propose to develop and optimize the CTC-chip for HCC CTC isolation (Aim 1). We will then determine the diagnostic accuracy of the CTC analysis compared to biopsy evaluation of unknown liver masses (Aim 2). The critical value of Aim 2 is to determine the sensitivity and the specificity of the technology to detect HCC CTCs in patients with cancer (n=40) and without cancer (n=40).

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议使用抗体涂层的微流体表面捕获装置，Herringbone CTC 芯片，从静脉血中分离肝细胞癌（HCC）循环肿瘤细胞（CTC）。从 HCC 患者的静脉血中成功分离这些细胞有可能通过实现 HCC 患者的早期检测和治疗监测来显着改善当前的医疗实践。 HCC 的生存完全取决于早期检测，无论是原发肿瘤的检测还是治疗后复发的检测。筛查、早期诊断和复发检测一直是艰巨的挑战，尽管全世界范围内进行了大量研究工作，但肝癌患者的五年生存率仍然很低。我们建议开发和优化用于 HCC CTC 隔离的 CTC 芯片（目标 1）。然后，我们将确定 CTC 分析与未知肝脏肿块活检评估相比的诊断准确性（目标 2）。目标 2 的关键价值是确定该技术在癌症患者 (n=40) 和非癌症患者 (n=40) 中检测 HCC CTC 的敏感性和特异性。
