Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The Sweden Cancerome Analysis Network - Breast (SCAN-B) study was initiated in 2010 as a multicenter prospective population-based observational study with long-sighted aims to analyze breast cancers with next-generation genomic technologies for translational research and integrated with healthcare; decipher fundamental tumor biology from these analyses; utilize genomic data to develop and validate new clinically-actionable biomarker assays; and establish real-time clinical implementation of molecular diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive tests. In the first phase, we focus on molecular profiling by next-generation RNA-sequencing. Gene expression profiles, mutational profiles, and transcript isoform-level data will be analyzed in the context of patient information, clinicopathological variables, and outcome, with the purpose to develop new molecular diagnostic assays for breast cancer. Additional genome-scale RNA, DNA, and protein analyses will be performed in the future.
As of February 2024, over 20,000 patients have enrolled in the study, representing approximately 85% of all eligible patients within the catchment region. Tissue and blood collection is integrated within healthcare routines and clinical information is provided from national quality registries.
As of Q4 2021, the SCAN-B RNA-seq analysis for molecular subtyping and risk-of-recurrence has been clinically implemented for all breast cancer patients in Skåne within the Center for Molecular Diagnostics, Laboratory Medicine, Medical Service, Region Skåne.
