Hartwig Medical Foundation
To make the right treatment decision, cancer specialists need to collect all the available diagnostic information from the patient and their tumor.
We are contributing to this work by:
Developing
innovative molecular tests, for identifying the characteristics of the tumor.
Collecting and storing
knowledge of and information about the patient and their tumor.
Integrating
the information and knowledge with treatment outcome to accelerate scientific research. This enables us to learn from the data of today’s patients and provide better treatment for the patients of tomorrow.

We have been using the complete DNA test for the past two years in the routine care of patients with cancer. The test provides at least as much, and often more, information we can use to treat our patients than regular tests. Moreover, in patients with an unknown primary tumor, it can help us to diagnose the cancer and find a treatment. This test also makes a difference for patients with a sarcoma. Our researchers have scientifically demonstrated this in several studies.
