Targeted Therapy Consultation
Targeted therapies can be very effective against cancer. These targeted drugs specifically inhibit molecules responsible for tumor growth. However, there are several hundreds of possible different targets in tumor cells and the right targeted drug has to be selected for the patient. For this selection [Your institution] uses the service provided by KPS Diagnostics, an international leader in molecular diagnostics of targeted therapies.
The molecular diagnostic test and information service of KPS, the Oncompass, provides information about the possible effectiveness of more than 200 targeted compounds based on the analysis of more than 50 genes in the tumor tissue. (More information can be found on the website: www.kpsdx.com.)
Centre for Cancer Medicine has a strong background in tumor biology, which is required for the clinical interpretation of the molecular profile of the tumor. This enables the individualized planning of treatment strategy based on the available targeted therapies.
