Tests Available for Cancer Diagnostics

1

ONCO - T
Testing

The Onco-T test records a baseline of your cancer status as you start your cancer treatment. This will include baseline values for circulating tumor cell (CTC) count, phenotype markers, and stemness markers in your bloodstream.

​

The Onco-T test is designed to provide comprehensive information about cancer progression and its future prognosis.

ONCO-Plus
TESTING

OUR MOST POPULAR TEST:

 

This test provides thorough, targeted information about what drugs, treatments, and natural remedies might be best suited for particular cancer.

​

It does this by employing two procedures, epigenetic analysis, and viability analysis; the test takes specific drugs and remedies and tests for direct effects of certain treatments, stimulation of the immune system, and inhibiting signals in cancer cells that stimulate their growth.

​

This approach allows your doctors to narrow down what options might be better for you than others.

3

META-S

Meta-S is an advanced test to accurately predict whether a secondary cancerous tumor is likely to develop and its potential location in your body. It can be a valuable tool for your specialist to personalize your cancer treatment.

​

For instance, it can accurately predict if secondary cancer may develop in the lungs, brain, liver, or bones.
