Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Differential immunogenomic signatures from peripheral blood CD14 (phagocytic) and CD2 (non-phagocytic) cells have been associated with multiple cancers and disease states. In particular several large clinical studies at Immunis.AI have demonstrated robust immunogenomic signatures in early-stage prostate cancer. Immunis.AI therefore hypothesizes that a peripheral blood immunogenomic signature will identify patients with various stages of breast cancer from healthy negative controls.

- Controls: Patients with negative screening MMG
- description
- Patients presenting to Duke Radiology for routine screening mammogram will be screened for eligibility as negative controls. Study enrollment for negative controls presumes that patients do not receive their screening mammography results immediately. Patients will be approached on the day of their first new patient visit to the Duke Cancer Center. If they are willing, they will be consented in clinic, and directed down to the lab for their first blood draw.

- Diagnostic Test: Blood test

- Cases: Patients with known cancer diagnosis
- description
- Patients presenting to the Duke Cancer Center for evaluation by Medical or Surgical Oncology of a newly diagnosed breast cancer will be screened for study eligibility and approached, enrolled, and consented accordingly. Patients will be approached on the day of their first new patient visit to the Duke Cancer Center. If they are willing, they will be consented in clinic, and directed down to the lab for their first blood draw.
