Drug screening is a method used to test hundreds of medications on individual’s live cancer cells in a lab. The test report will provide clinical evidence in prioritizing the best choices for individual patient.

Imagine having the confidence that you on the most effective treatment option.

How does Drug Screening work?

After preserving live cancer cells from your tumor, clinicians can test it against more than a hundred different drugs including chemotherapy agents, targeted drugs and immunotherapy drugs. Some of these medications are experimental, or not approved for your specific indication, or only prescribed for tumors that are resistant to traditional or first-line chemotherapy. Drug screening helps prioritize the drug choices, tests experimental drugs, and identifies combinations that may prove more effective than single agents.

Who will benefit from Drug Screening?

With the advancement in medical technology today, as well as the ultimate importance of quality of life especially for cancer patients, using the best treatment option available is becoming more and more critical and beneficial. Successful cases and patient’s quality of life are much more important than existing or conventional treatment protocol. Drug screening is a self funded test and thus is more appealing to the following patients:

  • with aggressive disease or disease of unknown origin
  • with advanced stage cancer or metastasis
  • where the cancer has recurred
  • whose cancer is not responding to traditional treatments
  • being told that there are no other treatment options available to me
  • that have or (or think they may have) developed resistance to their current treatment
  • experiencing too many side effects from my current treatment
