Overview

This study aims to collect biospecimens and explore the correlation of genomics and prognosis in alimentary tract cancers.

Description

In this study, the investigators will collect clinical specimens of alimentary tract cancers and perform DNA and RNA analysis to identify genetic alterations for the development of a comprehensive somatic mutation databases and investigate their potential correlation with clinical, radiological and pathological variables. The genomics study included but not limited to target gene panel sequencing, whole exome sequencing, whole genome sequencing, bulk RNA sequencing, single cell RNA sequencing and metagenomics.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
