The Progress of the Specific and Rapid Genetic Detection Methods for Ovarian Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment.

ABSTRACT: Cancer is a public health problem that threatens human health. Due to the lack of specific and rapid diagnosis and treatment methods, the 5-year survival rate of patients has not been effectively improved in the past 10 years. Abnormal gene expression is closely related to the occurrence and development of cancer. Cancer diagnosis and treatment methods based on genetic testing have received extensive attention in recent years. It is essential to explore specific and rapid cancer genetic testing methods. Taking ovarian cancer as an example, we reviewed the progress of specific and rapid nucleic acid detection methods related to cancer risk assessment, low-abundance mutation detection, and methylation detection, to provide new strategies and ideas for related research.

Project description:BackgroundSepsis is still a major public health concern and a medical emergency due to its high morbidity and mortality. Accurate and timely etiology diagnosis is crucial for sepsis management. As an emerging rapid and sensitive pathogen detection tool, digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) has shown promising potential in rapid identification of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes. However, the diagnostic value and clinical impact of ddPCR tests remains to be studied in patients with suspected sepsis. PROGRESS trial is aimed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of a novel ddPCR assay compared with standard practice.MethodsPROGRESS is a multicenter, open-label, pragmatic randomized controlled trial (pRCT) set in ten hospitals, including departments of infectious disease and intensive care units. In this study, a total of 2292 patients with suspected sepsis will be randomly assigned to two arms: the ddPCR group and the control group with a ratio of 3:1. The primary outcome is the diagnostic efficacy, that is, the sensitivity and specificity of the ddPCR assay compared with the synchronous blood culture. Secondary outcomes include the mortality rates and the mean Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score at follow-up time points, the length of stay in the hospital, the time to directed antimicrobial therapy, duration of broad-spectrum antibiotic use, and the EQ-5D-5L score on day 90.DiscussionIt is the first multicenter pragmatic RCT to explore the diagnostic efficacy and clinical impact of the ddPCR assay in patients with suspected sepsis, taking advantage of both RCT's ability to establish causality and the feasibility of pragmatic approaches in real-world studies (RWS). This trial will help us to get a comprehensive view of the assay's capacity for precise diagnosis and treatment of sepsis. It has the potential to monitor the pathogen load change and to guide the antimicrobial therapy, making a beneficial impact on the prognosis of sepsis patients.Trial registrationClinicalTrial.gov, NCT05190861.
