A Study of Tumor DNA Mutations in the Peripheral Blood from Patients who have Cholangiocarcinoma

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the usefulness of identifying DNA mutations in circulating tumor cells and cfDNA from the peripheral blood of patients with cholangiocarcinoma. The future plan is to compare DNA mutations detected from peripheral blood (the research) with clinical results from tumor tissue.
