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.
Share your data
Your contribution to improving the treatment of tomorrow’s patients is important. Share your data, too!

We want to extract the maximum amount of information from the patient’s tumor. This DNA test is the The complete DNA test is the best available tool to extract the maximum amount of information from the patient’s tumor. We only need one tissue sample with sufficient tumor cells. We literally analyze the entire genome, including parts of the DNA that show mutations of which we don’t yet know the importance. This test is tumor-independent and future-proof. These are the two most important advantages of WGS.
