Ready for personalized diagnostics?
The advantage of personalized diagnostics is that, regardless of the type of cancer, a complete picture of all relevant activities of a tumour is recorded and thus personalized and targeted therapy options are identified for the patient. Tailored to the early stages of the disease, individualized complementary therapy approaches are obtained that are both as effective as possible with as few side effects as possible.
