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.
We have an agreement with most hospitals to carry out OncoAct for them. Would you like to know which hospitals these are and who the contact person is within your hospital? Please email info@oncoact.nl.
Sequencing Services
We sequence and analyze DNA for research purposes.
The fact that the CPCT, together with Hartwig Medical Foundation, has managed to bundle data, knowledge and expertise from almost all Dutch hospitals is unique and now also deserves international attention.
