How does Oncotrail work?
Specifically designed for patients with confirmed diagnoses of certain cancers, this test tracks circulating tumor cells (CTCs) to assess their presence and concentration and also markers in cancer to assess origin and activity of cancer cells.
A blood sample is analyzed to identify the presence and concentration of CTCs in the blood, this gives us an idea of the trend of cancer.
Oncotrail also allows for immunophenotyping of the cancer cells, this means that we can elucidate the nature of the cancer cells which would give us information on how aggressive each cell is.
This test act as an acid test for the current management of a cancer protocol. This is vital to the guidance of the therapeutic protocol, for few specific cancers.
