Ambispective Cohort Study of Precision Medicine for Primary Hepatobiliary Cancer Based on Next-generation Sequencing

The purpose of this study is to explore the precise treatment in hepatobiliary cancer patients and evaluate drug efficacy, progression free and overall survival. This trial study is based on genetic tests, then therapeutic target drugs are administered according to the genetic test reports. Patients with genetic abnormalities (such as mutations, amplifications, or translocations) may benefit from precise treatment which targets particular genetic abnormality. The identifications of these genetic abnormalities may help treat hepatobiliary cancer patients.

The genetic tests are performed for the eligible subjects in this study, then therapeutic target drugs are administered according to the genetic test reports. While the precise treatments, follow-ups are conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the target drugs for the subjects, until the overall survival.
