Optimal therapy selection through precise analyses
Tailor-made treatment for maximum effectiveness
Modern medicine has revolutionized cancer therapy. We offer tailored treatment approaches based on the genetic analysis of your tumor cells to determine the best therapy for you.
What is individual cancer therapy?
Individual cancer therapy - also known as personalized medicine - is based on the genetic and molecular analysis of your tumor. Every cancer is unique, and therefore a tailored therapy is crucial for success. Your treating doctor remains responsible for implementing your treatment.
Why individual cancer therapy?
While your doctor usually only has one chance to choose the right therapy, we can test many therapies in a very short time. By specifically examining the tumor properties, we can choose the best treatment approaches and save valuable time by ruling out ineffective therapies.
Why this approach is significantly better
The standard approach to cancer therapy is based on many years of knowledge about which therapy or medication produces the best results for the majority of those affected. Whether this applies in your case or is even detrimental remains unclear. The laboratory test carried out by your doctor essentially only determines whether the tumor is malignant or benign and what stage and grade the tumor has developed to. The analysis is not meaningful for choosing the right therapy. We deviate from the standard approach and analyze your cancer cells carefully and in detail in the laboratory to determine the individual characteristics of your tumor. In addition, we can test the tumor's individual response to various therapies in a targeted manner and at the same time rule out ineffective therapies. This significantly reduces the stress during therapy. Since these tests are carried out in the laboratory, numerous therapies can be tested without risk to the patient.

Important questions and topics
How long does it take to receive my test results and how will I be notified of the results?
After your sample has been taken, it usually takes about 10 to 14 days for the test results to be available. You will receive a detailed report containing the results of the cancer analysis and therapy tests. This report will either be sent to you directly or discussed with your treating doctor. We also offer a detailed consultation to explain the results and plan your next steps.
What costs are incurred and will they be covered by my health insurance?
It is possible that your health insurance company will cover the costs of cancer cell sampling. The costs for our cancer analyses and therapy tests vary depending on the extent of the examination. There are various package options and the option to select individual tests individually. Whether your health insurance company covers the costs depends on your insurance contract and the medical benefit of the tests. We recommend clarifying this in advance with your health insurance company and your doctor.
What samples are needed for the tests and how are they collected?
Our cancer analysis usually requires a tissue sample (biopsy) or blood sample. Your doctor or a specialized laboratory can take this sample. For certain tests, a simple blood sample is sufficient, while more complex analyses require a tissue sample. The exact requirements will be discussed with you in advance.
Can I have the tests done even if I am already receiving treatment?
Yes, our tests can be carried out both before starting treatment and during ongoing therapy. Especially in cases where therapy does not work as expected, a new analysis of the tumor cells can provide valuable information for adjusting the treatment.
Is personalized cancer therapy (precision medicine) suitable for every type of cancer?
Personalized cancer therapies can be used for many types of cancer, including breast cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer and more. However, the suitability of such therapies depends on the specific genetic structure of the tumor. The tests help determine whether precision medicine treatment makes sense in your case.
How reliable are the test results and how accurate are the analyses?
Our tests are based on highly accurate, scientifically validated methods performed in specialized laboratories. The results are therefore extremely reliable and are evaluated by experienced professionals. Nevertheless, it is important to evaluate the test results in the context of your entire medical history and with the involvement of your doctor.
Can I have the tests done outside of Germany?
Yes, we offer our services internationally. The exact procedures for sample collection and shipping may vary by country, but our team will be happy to help you coordinate. Please contact us to learn more about availability and the process in your country.
