At Oncotech, we know that each patient's cancer presents the physician
with a complex puzzle as unique as the human fingerprint. An elaborate
network of oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, growth factors, growth
factor receptors and signal transduction mechanisms lead to uncontrolled
proliferation of the cancer cell. We utilize the experience and
expertise of highly trained scientists and physicians to provide
cancer-treating doctors with a "window" into the cancer cell,
looking at each patient's cancer as a distinct entity.
Oncotech offers a full line of laboratory tests designed to provide
information that can be used to tailor treatment to the individual
patient's cancer, based on the unique biological and genetic properties
of the malignant cells obtained from the patient. This information
enables physicians to stratify individual patients into good or poor
prognostic groups, and to avoid the use of specific chemotherapy agents
to which the patient's tumor is resistant.
Extreme Drug Resistance (EDR®) Assay (PDF Download)
Oncotech's proprietary drug resistance
technology for solid tumors and malignant fluids, backed by over 10
years of experience, strong clinical validation studies with resistance
data calculated by a proprietary algorithm based on results from over
70,000 patients.
Differential Staining Cytotoxicity (DiSC®) Assay (PDF Download)
The most highly validated in vitro test for drug resistance in
hematologic neoplasms.
OncoProfiles: Prognostic and predictive marker assays, organized by
tumor type, designed to provide comprehensive information on the
patient's tumor, assessing genetic characteristics, protein expression,
proliferative index, resistance mechanisms, oncogene status and other
defining factors of disease. Each assay can also be ordered
individually.
