ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying a new way to detect multiple types of cancer early by analyzing DNA found in the blood of cancer patients and healthy volunteers. Researchers aim to develop a testing platform called Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED), which could help identify cancer at earlier stages when it is often more treatable. The study will involve around 4,000 participants from various clinical sites in South Korea.
To be eligible for this study, participants must be 19 years old or older and either have been diagnosed with any stage of a solid tumor or be healthy volunteers who are scheduled for a cancer screening. Participants will need to provide blood samples and agree to share their medical information for research purposes. Those who join the study can expect to undergo a simple blood test and will contribute to important research aimed at improving cancer detection. It's important to note that individuals with certain health conditions or recent cancer diagnoses may not qualify for this trial.
