Was ist die Testung genetischer Expressionswerte von Krebszellen?

Durch molekularbiologische Analyse identifizieren wir das individuelle Aktionsprofil eines Tumors und finden die therapeutischen Angriffspunkte.

Die Messung der RNA-Genexpressionswerte ist dem Tumorgeschehen näher als eine reine Mutationsanalyse. Mit dieser Messung kann man für wichtige Signalwege des Tumors das konkrete und aktuelle Aktionsprofil und deren Eigenschaften ermitteln.

Per Flüssigbiopsie ist eine Gewinnung frischer lebender Tumorzellen einfach und schmerzfrei möglich.  

Es werden auch Tumorzellen aus Körperregionen gewonnen, die wie in Lunge, Bauchspeicheldrüsen oder Gehirn für herkömmliche Gewebebiopsien oft nur schwierig zu erreichen sind.

Man kann weiterhin auch Tumorzellen aus Urin, Aszites oder Liquor erhalten.

Wenn Gewebebiopsate vorliegen, kann man auch diese nutzen. Somit sind vielfältige Möglichkeiten gegeben, um Tumorzellen zu gewinnen.

Die iSelect und iComplete Tests liefern entscheidende Erkenntnisse bezüglich:

• der Aggressivität des Tumors

• der Manipulation des Immunsystems durch den Tumor

• der Resistenzen gegenüber Medikamenten

• der Aktivität relevanter Signale

• der Wirksamkeit bestimmter Substanzen

Die Messergebnisse werden therapeutischen Substanzen zugeordnet, basierend auf anerkannten Studien, sodass der behandelnde Arzt Optionen für eine gezielte Therapie erhält.

Üblicherweise werden die Tumorzellen aus einer Blutprobe extrahiert, gefolgt von der Analyse der RNA, um die Aktivität von Genen zu bestimmen. Die Tumorzellen können aber auch aus einer Biopsie, aus Urin, Liquor oder Aszites entnommen werden.

Die mit dem iSelect oder iComplete Test gewonnen Therapieoptionen zeigen personalisierte und für den individuellen Tumor zielgerichtete Therapieoptionen auf, die der Therapeut umsetzen kann. Weiterhin werden auch individuell für den vorliegenden Tumor ungeeignete Substanzen die z.B. in der Chemotherapie eingesetzt werden, aufgezeigt. Damit kann man z.B. stark toxische Therapeutika, die der Tumor einfach durchschleust, identifizieren und für die Therapie ausschließen.

Unser iPrevent-Test zeigt auf, ob und wie viele Tumorzellen im Blut gefunden werden.

Falls eine deutliche Erhöhung vorliegt, sollte man herkömmliche bildgebende Verfahren wie MRT oder PET-CT anwenden, um den Befund abzusichern.

Bitte sprechen Sie uns über die kostenlose Beratung an, damit wir den richtigen Test herausfinden und Ihnen die damit verbundenen Kosten mitteilen können.

Die Laborarbeit dauert ca. 10 Arbeitstage. Danach wird ein Bericht geschrieben, der je nach Komplexität des Falles ca. 1 – 3 Arbeitstage dauern kann. Der Bericht muss wegen gesetzlicher Vorgaben im Falle von Krebs an den behandelnden Arzt gehen. Er kann dann den Bericht an den Patienten weiterleiten.

Die Zuverlässigkeit hängt von verschiedenen Faktoren ab, einschließlich der Testmethode und der Qualität der genommenen Probe. In vielen Fällen sind Liquid Biopsy-Tests jedoch eine zuverlässige Ergänzung zu anderen Diagnosemethoden.

1

Contact us and order the blood collection kit for your doctor

Give us a call or send us a message. We will advise you on our tests. We will send the corresponding blood collection kit to your doctor free of charge.

2

Make an appointment for a blood test with your doctor

The blood sample is taken by a doctor you trust or a doctor in our network. Important for chemotherapy patients: Schedule this appointment at the earliest 10-14 days after your last chemotherapy.

3

Take the blood collection kit with you to your doctor's appointment

Bring the blood collection kit you received from us to your doctor’s appointment. After the blood sample has been taken, it will be collected by our courier service and transported to our laboratory.

4

HAVE YOUR DOCTOR COMPLETE THE DOCUMENTS, SIGN THE ORDER and return them to us

  • Check that the enclosed documents are complete
  • Have the doctor complete the order for molecular diagnostics with your consent and signature
  • Complete the enclosed medication plan
  • Enclose copies of your clinic reports/anamnesis
  • Please sign all forms and return the originals to us

5

Your doctor or you:
Inform us about your blood collection appointment

Please let us know when and where the sample is to be collected by e-mail or telephone at least one day before the scheduled blood collection. We need the location, date and a time window of 2 hours for our courier service.

This is the only way we can organize the collection of the sample from your practice.

6

Discuss the results with your doctor

The report is prepared within approx. 10-15 working days after receipt of payment from the patient, depending on the case.

Arrange a consultation with your doctor to discuss the test results. We will send the test report directly to your doctor.
