Overview
The purpose of this study is to construct an auxiliary diagnostic model for breast cancer by methylation markers. The study will collect blood and tissue samples from participants with breast cancer and benign disease for whole-genome methylation sequencing. It will screen methylation markers and develop a methylation auxiliary diagnosis model to distinguish between breast cancer and non-cancer.
