Advantages for breast cancer patients
through personalized diagnostics:
Optimal support at all stages of the disease
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. Despite standardized treatment protocols, tumors differ significantly in their molecular characteristics, which explains why patients respond differently to the same therapy. Personalized diagnostics using Liquid Biopsy marks a paradigm shift in the treatment of breast cancer and offers decisive advantages to affected patients at every stage of the disease.

Personalized diagnostics at all stages of breast cancer
Stage 0
Early detection and prevention
Personalized diagnostics is revolutionizing the field of early detection, especially for high-risk patients:
- Highly sensitive detection of tumor markers: detection of circulating tumor cells in the blood long before imaging diagnostics
- Individual screening strategies: Adaptation of screening intervals to the personal risk profile
- Preventive benefits: If increased numbers of tumor cells are found in the blood, the iSelect or iComplete test can be used to investigate further and identify treatment options
Liquid Biopsy Breast Cancer – Gentle diagnostics without tissue removal
Liquid Biopsy breast cancer is revolutionizing breast cancer diagnostics through minimally invasive blood analysis. Our liquid biopsy breast cancer technology enables the detection of tumor cells in the blood without surgical intervention. Liquid Biopsy breast cancer gives you precise results with maximum patient comfort.
Breast cancer diagnostics – precise analysis for optimal therapy
Our breast cancer diagnostics use state-of-the-art molecular methods for precise tumour characterization. Breast cancer diagnostics includes genetic analyses to determine the optimal treatment strategy. Breast cancer diagnostics provides you with the basis for personalized treatment.
Breast cancer blood test – simple sample collection, precise results
The breast cancer blood test enables uncomplicated diagnostics by simply taking blood samples in the practice. Our breast cancer blood test analyzes various tumor markers and genetic changes. The breast cancer blood test saves you time and gives you fast, reliable diagnostic results.
CTC Breast Cancer – Circulating tumor cells as a diagnostic key
The ctc breast cancer analysis identifies and characterizes circulating tumor cells in the blood. Our circulating tumor cells breast cancer analysis provides important information about tumor aggressiveness and response to therapy. With ctc breast cancer diagnostics, we can optimally monitor treatment success and disease progression.
Stage I-II
Localized breast cancer
In the case of localized breast cancer without lymph node involvement, personalized diagnostics makes this possible:
- Gene expression analysis: Precise characterization of the tumor through analysis of approx. 35 gene expression markers - beyond the standard biomarkers
- Therapy support: Derivation of therapy options including complementary agents and so-called "repurposed drugs" based on the individual gene expression profile
- Repeated iSELECT tests enable therapy monitoring without the need for a new tumor biopsy, so that early molecular changes in the tumor can be detected and therapy decisions can be adjusted promptly
iSELECT
Application of the iSELECT test: In the case of localized breast cancer, molecular analysis can maximize the effectiveness of treatment and avoid unnecessary therapies. The test identifies the individual molecular weak points of the tumor and enables a tailored therapy with potentially good efficacy and minimal side effects.
iCOMPLETE
Application of the iCOMPLETE test: Comprehensive molecular characterization is crucial, especially in the stage with lymph node involvement. The test analyzes important parts of the tumor’s molecular profile and identifies active signaling pathways, resistance mechanisms and potential targets for targeted therapies.
Stage III
Breast cancer with lymph node involvement
In the case of tumors involving the lymph nodes, personalized diagnostics offers:
- Identification of treatment options: Mention of therapeutic agents that may be effective for the tumor in question
- Resistance factors: Identification of mechanisms that could limit the response to standard therapies
- Monitoring therapy response: early detection of therapy failure through analysis of circulating tumor cells
Stage IV
Metastatic breast cancer
In advanced disease with distant metastases, personalized diagnostics is of particular importance:
- Presentation of possible treatment options: Identification of therapeutic agents that may not be effective for the tumor in question
- Therapy monitoring: Identification of the transformation of the tumor during therapy
- Response monitoring: monitoring the success of therapy without repeated invasive biopsies
- Identification of target structures: development of treatment options beyond standard therapies
iCOMPLETE
Application of the iCOMPLETE test: In metastatic breast cancer, continuous molecular monitoring is important in order to detect resistance to therapy at an early stage and adapt treatment strategies. The test enables longitudinal monitoring of the molecular tumour profile and supports the development of individualized therapy concepts for each phase of the disease.
iPREVENT
Application of the iPREVENT test: In the follow-up phase, the test enables highly sensitive monitoring for recurrences and thus offers the opportunity to intervene much earlier if the disease recurs. This can significantly improve the prognosis for recurrences.
afterwards
Aftercare and monitoring after therapy
Once primary therapy has been completed, personalized diagnostics offers significant advantages:
- Detection of minimal residual disease (MRD): Detection of remaining tumor cells below the imaging detection limit
- Early relapse detection: Molecular signatures of relapse months before clinical manifestation
- Personalized follow-up intervals: adaptation of check-ups to the individual risk profile
- Monitoring of long-term therapies: Monitoring of efficacy and development of resistance during therapy
Special molecular properties of breast cancer
Personalized diagnostics takes into account the specific molecular characteristics of breast cancer:
1. molecular subtypes and their clinical relevance
- Luminal A: Slow-growing, hormone receptor-positive tumors with excellent prognosis
- Luminal B: More aggressive hormone receptor-positive tumors, often with additional molecular alterations
- HER2-positive: Characterized by HER2 overexpression/amplification, response to anti-HER2 therapies
- Triple-negative: Heterogeneous group with different molecular subtypes, including:
- Basal subtypes
- Immunogenic subtypes
- Androgen receptor-positive subtypes
- Mesenchymal subtypes
2. frequent molecular alterations and therapy implications
- PIK3CA mutations: Common in hormone receptor-positive tumors, response to PI3K inhibitors
- ESR1 mutations: Development under endocrine therapy, resistance to certain hormone therapies
- BRCA1/2 mutations: Defects in DNA repair, response to PARP inhibitors
- CDK4/6 activation: cell cycle dysregulation, response to CDK4/6 inhibitors
- PD-L1 expression: immune evasion, predictor of immunotherapy response
Personalized diagnostics
Foundation for a new era of breast cancer treatment
Personalized diagnostics using Liquid Biopsy marks the transition from standardized treatment protocols to truly individualized therapy concepts. Seamless integration into the entire treatment pathway – from prevention and initial therapy to follow-up care and advanced disease – makes treatment decisions more precise, effective and gentle.
For breast cancer patients, this paradigm shift means individualized treatment at every stage of their disease, with the potential for better treatment outcomes, higher quality of life and ultimately improved chances of survival.
