Services
We provide two services: OncoAct and Hartwig Sequencing Services.
OncoAct
Cancer is caused by DNA mutations. To find these mutations, we developed OncoAct. OncoAct is a complete DNA test that can provide physicians with additional information about clinically relevant characteristics of a tumor (biomarkers) that may also be predictive of the response to treatment.
Changes in the genetic profile (mutations) sometimes provide clues to a potential treatment that can directly target these mutations. This is known as targeted therapy.
In addition, the OncoAct report contains possible leads for trials or experimental drugs.
Sequencing Services
We sequence and analyze DNA for research purposes.
Cancer is caused by DNA mutations. There are an increasing number of drugs available that act on specific errors in the DNA of an individual patient’s tumor. A drug that doesn’t fit, like a key in a lock, will not work, while the risk of side effects remains.
