Personalized Cancer Treatments Empowered by Data
The Challenge for Advanced Cancer Patients
Many advanced cancer patients don’t have obvious, standard treatment options available to them. If you are living
with advanced cancer, you may face complex decisions on what to do, at a time when you and your family are already overwhelmed
and lack the information you need to make the right decisions.
Data-Driven Cancer Treatments
Cancer Patient Lab can help you, your family, and your medical team address this challenge through:
Accessing personalized novel diagnostic tests, such as liquid biopsies, RNA sequencing, and proteomics through our network of service providers.
Learning about relevant, personalized treatments, even before the treatments have become the standard of care (based on clinical trials)
Understanding the real world experience of people like you, to learn what works and what doesn’t; for example, to discover a minimum effective dose for a drug, or an effective drug combination.
Supporting you to navigate through a medical industrial complex that has stakeholders with interests that don’t fully align with cancer patients, and that moves at a pace that is too slow for patients who need better solutions now.
