Submitting samples: How it works

How do you come to one of our tests as a patient?

Not all doctors are specialized in the latest methods of cancer diagnostics. In addition, personalized diagnostic procedures are not yet covered by statutory health insurance as a standard service, which is why our tests are not yet offered in every oncology practice.

For this reason, we offer patients the opportunity to access our molecular biological analyses with their trusted doctor or with one of our experienced specialist doctors. This allows you to benefit from our advanced personalized cancer diagnostics even without a special referral.

What is the testing of genetic expression levels of cancer cells?

Using molecular biological analysis, we identify the individual action profile of a tumor and find the therapeutic targets.

Why should the RNA gene expression levels of cancer cells be tested?

The measurement of RNA gene expression values is closer to the tumor process than a pure Mutation analysis. This measurement can be used to determine the specific and current action profile and characteristics of important tumor signaling pathways.

What is the advantage of a Liquid Biopsy?

Liquid biopsies can be used to obtain fresh, living tumor cells easily and painlessly.
Tumor cells can also be obtained from regions of the body that are often difficult to reach for conventional tissue biopsies, such as the lungs, pancreas or brain.
Tumor cells can also be obtained from urine, ascites or cerebrospinal fluid.
If tissue biopsies are available, these can also be used. This provides a wide range of options for obtaining tumor cells.

What information does the testing of genetic expression values of cancer cells provide?

The iSELECT and iComplete tests provide decisive insights into:
– the aggressiveness of the tumor
– the manipulation of the immune system by the tumor
– drug resistance
– the activity of relevant signals
– the effectiveness of certain substances
The measurement results are assigned to therapeutic substances based on recognized studies, giving the treating physician options for targeted therapy.

How is the measurement of gene expression data carried out?

The tumor cells are usually extracted from a blood sample, followed by analysis of the RNA to determine the activity of genes. However, the tumor cells can also be extracted from a biopsy, urine, cerebrospinal fluid or ascites.

Which doctor will take the blood sample?

The blood sample can be taken by your attending physician or a physician from our network and is a minor, largely painless procedure.

How does testing gene expression levels influence cancer treatment?

The therapy options obtained with the iSelect or iComplete test show personalized and targeted therapy options for the individual tumor, which the therapist can implement. Furthermore, substances that are unsuitable for the individual tumor, e.g. those used in chemotherapy, are also identified. This makes it possible, for example, to identify highly toxic therapeutic agents that the tumor simply passes through and exclude them from therapy.

Can the testing of gene expression levels be used preventively?

Our iPREVENT test shows whether and how many tumor cells are found in the blood.

If there is a significant increase, conventional imaging procedures such as MRI or PET-CT should be used to confirm the findings.

What are the costs associated with testing gene expression levels?

Please contact us about the free consultation so that we can find the right test and tell you the associated costs.

How quickly can gene expression test results be obtained?

The laboratory work takes approx. 10 working days. A report is then written, which can take approx. 1 – 3 working days depending on the complexity of the case. The report must be sent to the attending physician due to legal requirements in the case of cancer. He can then forward the report to the patient.

Are the results of genetic expression testing reliable?

Reliability depends on various factors, including the test method and the quality of the sample taken. In many cases, however, Liquid Biopsy tests are a reliable complement to other diagnostic methods.

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.

More clarity and confidence thanks to iQMedix – individual guidance, sound advice, human support
The iQMedix test was a

A real turning point for me. I am living with metastatic breast cancer (including in the lungs, liver and bones) and had water in the pleural cavity on both sides – a situation with a rather poor prognosis. The iQMedix blood test helped me to better tailor my combined therapy (conventional medicine and the Jane McLelland protocol) to my individual tumor.
I was able to get to know the “enemy” better – in other words, find out which factors specifically promote tumor growth. This gave me certainty and a clear strategy.
I was particularly impressed by the expertise and commitment I experienced at iQMedix. My therapist was able to integrate the results directly into my treatment. That was a great support on my journey.

The best moment came with the latest CT results
– A real ray of hope: The tumors have receded, the water in the pleural cavity is completely gone on one side and significantly reduced on the other. No new metastases. And the conspicuous lymph node on the right has completely disappeared.
I am very grateful – and can recommend iQMedix with the utmost conviction.

Thanks to the great team at iQMedix!!!!
I would just like to express my gratitude. The entire team was not only top-notch professionally, but also

incredibly warm, understanding and empathetic. I felt safe and in good hands right from the start.

I used to have a conventional biopsy – the pain and anxiety was traumatic for me. When I found out about Liquid Biopsy at iQMedix, I was skeptical, but it was a blessing. No pain, no fear, just relief.

It makes me sad that the health insurance companies do not regularly cover this method. You might only get lucky by petitioning the MDK. For me personally, this is the medicine of the future – it should be available to all cancer patients. It would save so much suffering – emotionally and physically – and in the long run it would also save health insurance companies money.

Thank you for being here. You have not only helped me medically, but also given me back a bit of quality of life on my rocky road. 🙏

Was ist die Testung genetischer Expressionswerte von Krebszellen?

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

Warum sollte man die RNA-Genexpressionswerte von Krebszellen testen lassen?

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.

Was ist der Vorteil einer Flüssigbiopsie (Liquid Biopsy)?

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.

Welche Informationen liefert die Testung genetischer Expressionswerte von Krebszellen?

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.

Wie wird die Messung von Genexpressionsdaten durchgeführt?

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.

Welcher Arzt führt die Blutentnahme durch?

Die Blutentnahme kann von Ihrem behandelnden Arzt oder einem Arzt aus unserem Netzwerk gemacht werden und ist ein geringer, weitgehend schmerzarmer Eingriff.

Wie beeinflusst die Testung von Genexpressionswerte die Krebsbehandlung?

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.

Kann die Testung der Genexpressionswerte präventiv eingesetzt werden?

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.

Welche Kosten sind mit der Testung Genexpressionswerte verbunden?

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

Wie schnell kann man Ergebnisse der Testung Genexpressionswerte erhalten?

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.

Sind die Ergebnisse der Testung genetischer Expressionswerte zuverlässig?

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.

What is the testing of genetic expression levels of cancer cells?

Using molecular biological analysis, we identify the individual action profile of a tumor and find the therapeutic targets.

Why should the RNA gene expression levels of cancer cells be tested?

The measurement of RNA gene expression values is closer to the tumor process than a pure Mutation analysis. This measurement can be used to determine the specific and current action profile and characteristics of important tumor signaling pathways.

What is the advantage of a Liquid Biopsy?

Liquid biopsies can be used to obtain fresh, living tumor cells easily and painlessly.
Tumor cells can also be obtained from regions of the body that are often difficult to reach for conventional tissue biopsies, such as the lungs, pancreas or brain.
Tumor cells can also be obtained from urine, ascites or cerebrospinal fluid.
If tissue biopsies are available, these can also be used. This provides a wide range of options for obtaining tumor cells.

What information does the testing of genetic expression values of cancer cells provide?

The iSELECT and iComplete tests provide decisive insights into:
– the aggressiveness of the tumor
– the manipulation of the immune system by the tumor
– drug resistance
– the activity of relevant signals
– the effectiveness of certain substances
The measurement results are assigned to therapeutic substances based on recognized studies, giving the treating physician options for targeted therapy.

How is the measurement of gene expression data carried out?

The tumor cells are usually extracted from a blood sample, followed by analysis of the RNA to determine the activity of genes. However, the tumor cells can also be extracted from a biopsy, urine, cerebrospinal fluid or ascites.

Which doctor will take the blood sample?

The blood sample can be taken by your attending physician or a physician from our network and is a minor, largely painless procedure.

How does testing gene expression levels influence cancer treatment?

The therapy options obtained with the iSelect or iComplete test show personalized and targeted therapy options for the individual tumor, which the therapist can implement. Furthermore, substances that are unsuitable for the individual tumor, e.g. those used in chemotherapy, are also identified. This makes it possible, for example, to identify highly toxic therapeutic agents that the tumor simply passes through and exclude them from therapy.

Can the testing of gene expression levels be used preventively?

Our iPREVENT test shows whether and how many tumor cells are found in the blood.

If there is a significant increase, conventional imaging procedures such as MRI or PET-CT should be used to confirm the findings.

What are the costs associated with testing gene expression levels?

Please contact us about the free consultation so that we can find the right test and tell you the associated costs.

How quickly can gene expression test results be obtained?

The laboratory work takes approx. 10 working days. A report is then written, which can take approx. 1 – 3 working days depending on the complexity of the case. The report must be sent to the attending physician due to legal requirements in the case of cancer. He can then forward the report to the patient.

Are the results of genetic expression testing reliable?

Reliability depends on various factors, including the test method and the quality of the sample taken. In many cases, however, Liquid Biopsy tests are a reliable complement to other diagnostic methods.

iPREVENT

Der Bluttest zur frühen Erkennung oder zum Monitoring von Krebs

Schon sehr früh geben Tumore Krebszellen in das Blut ab (zirkulierende Tumorzellen – CTC). Wenn diese sich an anderer Stelle im Körper ansiedeln, entstehen daraus Metastasen. iPrevent erfasst im Blut zirkulierende Tumorzellen oft schon in einem sehr frühen Stadium, wenn bildgebende Verfahren (Ultraschall, CT, MRT) noch nichts anzeigen.

Wird eine größere Zahl solcher Zellen gefunden, dann kann der iSelect oder iComplete Test angeschlossen werden.
Damit kann eine Tumorerkrankung meist in frühen Stadien erkannt und adäquat behandelt werden. Eine frühe Behandlung erhöht meist den Erfolg und die Überlebenschancen deutlich. Die sanfteren Therapieoptionen in frühen Phasen lassen auch deutlich geringere Nebenwirkungen erwarten.

DER iPREVENT TEST LIEFERT ENTSCHEIDENDE VORTEILE:

Sie erhalten einen ausführlichen Bericht mit den Analyseergebnissen und Literaturverweisen, den Ihr medizinisches Team bei der Therapieplanung berücksichtigen kann.

Wichtig: Die Interpretation der Ergebnisse und alle therapeutischen Entscheidungen erfolgen ausschließlich durch Ihre behandelnden Ärzte.

iSELECT

Die umfassende personalisierte Tumordiagnostik für komplementäre Therapeutika

DER iSELECT TEST LIEFERT INFORMATIONEN ZU

Der iSelect Test führt ein komplettes Panel von 35 Genexpressionen durch. Der Test fokussiert sich auf die Gene, die für das Wachstum des Tumors von besonderer Bedeutung sind und den Krebs charakterisieren.
Der Vorteil des iSelect Tests besteht darin, dass für viele Krebstypen ein Bild von über 35 Merkmalen eines Tumors erfasst wird und somit für den Patienten ein personalisiertes Aktivitätsprofil des Tumors erzeugt wird. Durch Abgleich der Daten mit renommierten, wissenschaftlichen Studien werden dann daraus zielgerichtete Therapieoptionen mit komplementären Substanzen (Pflanzenstoffe und Off-Label Medikamente) aufgezeigt. Abgestimmt auf die frühen Stadien der Erkrankung erhält man individuelle Therapieansätze, die gleichzeitig möglichst effektiv und dabei möglichst nebenwirkungsarm sind.

Der iSelect Test gewinnt Genexpressionsprofile aus dem Blut des Patienten.
Eine Genexpression zeigt an, in welchem Maße ein Gen aktiv ist und damit auch die davon abhängigen Signal- und Stoffwechselwege in der Tumorzelle. So kann z.B. eine überhöhte BCL2-Expression Hinweise geben, dass der natürliche Zelltod im Tumor verhindert wird und eine Behandlung z.B. mit Pflanzenstoffen und Off-Label Medikamenten eine mögliche Therapieoption darstellt.

Der iSelect Test ordnet auf Basis von wissenschaftlichen Studien dem individuellen Aktivitätsprofil des Tumors komplementäre Medikamente zu (natürliche Substanzen oder Off-Label-Medikamente), die die fehlgesteuerte Aktivität wieder ausgleichen können. Die Ergebnisse des Tests werden in einem leichtverständlichen ausführlichen Bericht dargestellt.

Im Verlauf der Erkrankung wird der Test eingesetzt, um während und nach einer Tumortherapie Auskunft über Veränderungen in Signal- und Stoffwechselpfaden zu erhalten, die auf ein Rezidiv hindeuten können. Die Therapie kann dann entsprechend angepasst werden.

iCOMPLETE

LABORDIAGNOSTISCHE UNTERSUCHUNG ZUR MOLEKULAREN ANALYSE VON GENEXPRESSIONSMUSTERN BEI TUMORERKRANKUNGEN

Der iComplete Test analysiert ein Panel von 85+ Genexpressionen. Die Untersuchung fokussiert sich auf Gene, die im Zusammenhang mit Tumorwachstum und Tumorcharakteristika stehen.

Der iComplete Test erfasst unabhängig vom Tumortyp molekulare Aktivitätsmuster und liefert Informationen zu potenziellen Therapieansätzen als Grundlage für ärztliche Therapieentscheidungen. Die Analyse kann behandelnde Ärzte bei der Auswahl individualisierter Therapieoptionen unter Berücksichtigung von Wirksamkeit und Verträglichkeit unterstützen.

Der iComplete Test untersucht Genexpressionsprofile aus dem Blut des Patienten. Die Genexpression gibt Hinweise darauf, inwieweit ein Gen aktiv ist und welche Signal- und Stoffwechselwege in der Tumorzelle damit in Zusammenhang stehen können.

Der iComplete Test identifiziert auf Basis wissenschaftlicher Studien zugelassene Medikamente, einschließlich Chemotherapeutika, zielgerichtete Medikamente und Immuntherapien sowie natürliche Substanzen oder Off-Label-Medikamente, die mit den untersuchten Signalpfaden oder Stoffwechselpfaden assoziiert sind. Die Ergebnisse werden in einem strukturierten Laborbericht dargestellt.

Im Krankheitsverlauf kann die Untersuchung während und nach einer Tumortherapie Informationen über Veränderungen in Signal- und Stoffwechselpfaden liefern. Diese molekularen Informationen können den behandelnden Arzt bei Therapieanpassungen unterstützen.

iPREVENT

The blood test for early detection or monitoring of cancer

Tumors release cancer cells into the blood (circulating tumor cells – CTC) at a very early stage. If these cells settle elsewhere in the body, they develop into metastases. iPREVENT often detects circulating tumor cells in the blood at a very early stage, when imaging methods (ultrasound, CT, MRI) do not yet show anything.

If a large number of such cells are found, the iSelect or iComplete test can be connected.
This means that tumors can usually be detected at an early stage and treated appropriately. Early treatment usually significantly increases success and the chances of survival. The gentler treatment options in the early stages also mean that significantly fewer side effects can be expected.

THE iPREVENT TEST OFFERS DECISIVE ADVANTAGES:

iSELECT

Comprehensive personalized tumor diagnostics for complementary therapeutics

The iSELECT test performs a complete panel of 85+ gene expressions. The test focuses on the genes that are of particular importance for the growth of the tumour and characterize the cancer.
The advantage of the iSELECT test is that it captures a picture of over 85 features of a tumour, regardless of the type of cancer, and thus generates a personalized activity profile of the tumour for the patient. Recognized first-class studies are then used to identify targeted therapy options with complementary substances (plant substances and off-label drugs). Tailored to the early stages of the disease, individual therapy approaches are obtained that are both as effective as possible and have as few side effects as possible.

The iSelect test obtains gene expression profiles from the patient’s blood.
Gene expression indicates the extent to which a gene is active and thus also the signaling and metabolic pathways in the tumor cell that depend on it. For example, excessive BCL2 expression can indicate that natural cell death in the tumor is being prevented and that treatment with e.g. plant substances and off-label drugs is a possible therapeutic option.

Based on scientific studies, the iSELECT test assigns complementary drugs (natural substances or off-label drugs) to the individual activity profile of the tumor, which can compensate for the misdirected activity. The results of the test are presented in an easy-to-understand, detailed report.

During the course of the disease, the test is used to obtain information about changes in signal and metabolic pathways during and after tumor therapy that may indicate a recurrence. The therapy can then be adjusted accordingly.

THE iSELECT TEST PROVIDES CRUCIAL INSIGHTS INTO

And you will receive a detailed report on all complementary therapy options available to your medical team for your treatment according to the gene expression analysis.

The iComplete test performs a complete panel of 85+ gene expressions. The test focuses on the genes that are of particular importance for the growth of the tumour and characterize the cancer.

The advantage of the iComplete test is that, regardless of the type of cancer, a complete picture of the particularly relevant activities of a tumour is recorded and thus personalized and targeted therapy options are identified for the patient. Depending on the stage of the disease, individual treatment options are provided that are both as effective as possible and have as few side effects as possible.

The iComplete test obtains gene expression profiles from the patient’s blood.
Gene expression indicates the extent to which a gene is active and thus also the signaling and metabolic pathways in the tumor cell that depend on it.

Based on scientific studies, the iComplete test analyzes which approved drugs, including chemotherapeutics, targeted drugs and immunotherapies as well as natural substances or off-label drugs can affect the signaling pathways or metabolic pathways. The results of the test are presented in an easy-to-understand detailed report.

During the course of the disease, the test is used to obtain information about changes in signal and metabolic pathways during and after tumor therapy that may indicate a recurrence. The therapy can then be adjusted accordingly.
