New methods and reliable tests to help deliver personalised treatment
RGCC CAMBISeq® (cancer analysis, mutational burden and instability sequencing) provides next generation sequencing analysis on both DNA and RNA to help predict a patient’s response to immunotherapy and to detect variants.
This test identifies chromosomal abnormalities – when either part of the genetic sequence in a chromosome is deleted or added to – that might lead to cancer. It uses a technique called array CGH to identify abnormalities in a genome more clearly than traditional microscopes can. These abnormalities could be linked with parts of regions […]
This test focuses on the status of a patient’s immune system. The test uses specific cellular markers, and the production of proteins called cytokines, to detect the type or types of cells that are responsible for switching a patient’s immune system on and off. Immune-Frame uses two different assays: the ELISA assay is used to […]
This test provides information, based on the detection of circulating tumour cells, about whether and where the tumour is likely to spread. Studies show that the cancer cells that have the potential to spread from the primary tumour express specific genes and proteins, or markers. These markers vary according to the organ that the tumour […]
This test relies on pharmacogenomics. This is the science of inherited variations in genes, how these inherited variations dictate a patient’s response to a drug, and the ways these variations can be used to predict whether a patient will have a good or bad response to a drug, or no response at all. ChemoSNiP tests […]
This test provides information about the efficacy of natural biological substances or extracts on circulating tumour cells. Onconomics Extracts focuses on testing using three methods: testing for the direct effect of an anti-cancer treatment, stimulating the immune system and inhibiting proliferative signals in the cancer cells that stimulate them to grow.
This test provides information about the effect of specific anti-cancer drugs, targeted therapies and natural treatments on the cancer cells in an individual patient. The test combines a molecular and a cellular approach by incorporating two procedures: epigenetic analysis and viability assays. Onconomics Plus RGCC is based on three methods: testing for the direct effect […]
This test provides information about the effect of specific anti-cancer drugs and targeted therapies on a single patient. The test combines a molecular and a cellular approach by incorporating two procedures: epigenetic analysis and viability assays.
This test provides information about the presence of circulating tumour cells, their concentration, and immunophenotype for specific types of malignancies. This test is a tailor-made test for certain cancers: such as breast cancer (for which we provide the Oncotrail RGCC for breast cancer) and prostate cancer (for which we provide Oncotrail RGCC for prostate cancer. […]
This test provides information about the presence of circulating tumour cells, and their concentration and immunophenotype, which may help identify their origin. It is used to provide guidance about a patient’s prognosis, and to help identify the primary tumour when this is unknown.
This test detects the presence of circulating tumour cells, and measures their concentration in the blood. As these cells that could lead to the recurrence of a cancer, this test is useful to detect relapse early, and as a follow-up tool.

Researchers have developed a new method for assessing whether genetic mutations, passed from parent to child, increase cancer risk. They have identified 1146 genes, called cancer heritability genes (CHGs) that may increase a person’s likelihood of developing cancer during life. The new test could improve early diagnosis and the development of better-targeted treatments for patients. […]
Researchers have developed a new method for identifying biomarkers that could improve diagnosis and improve outcomes for patients. The Cell Heterogeneity-Adjusted cLonal Methylation (CHALM) method developed by scientists enables them to identify biomarkers that may be missed by traditional techniques, potentially leading to more accurate tests for diagnosing cancer. DNA methylation is a genetic process […]
Scientists have discovered that combining two existing forms of immunotherapy together is more effective at treating lung cancer. Working together, the two therapies deliver a one-two punch, targeting and then destroying lung tumour cells. The two-step therapy uses a patients’ immune cells to fight cancer. Scientists extract these “natural killers” from a patients’ tumour or […]
In the biggest research project of its type ever completed, a European research team has analysed DNA samples from over 100,000 women and identified nine specific genes associated with breast cancer risk. Scientists and experts believe findings could help improve screening and the development of new, personalised treatments for the disease. In an incredible and […]
Circulating tumour cells (CTCs) can play a crucial role in improving treatments for metastatic breast cancer, scientists have found. The simple blood test can provide clinicians with a reliable predictor of whether a treatment will be successful in less than a month, an audience at the 2020 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium heard in December. […]
No, due to the blood-brain barrier, tumour cells cannot enter the bloodstream. This means that we cannot obtain and isolate any tumour cells from the blood sample.
Yes, patients with lymphoma or leukaemia can use an RGCC test to measure the number of circulating tumour cells (CTC) they have.
The most comprehensive test is the “Onconomics Plus” test. This provides information on the sensitivity or resistance of the patient’s tumour cells to certain cancer drugs and shows options for targeted therapy or an alternative treatment method with organic substances. The test also contains information about the development of the tumour and its potential by identifying epigenetic tumour markers relevant for the therapy, which are crucial for the correct therapeutic approach.
