Isolates, counts, and analyzes circulating tumor cells.
Ideal for monitoring patients with breast, colon or prostate cancer.
Also measures protein expression of HER2, ER (estrogen receptor), PDL1 in circulating tumor cells.
Clarity Dx for Prostate is a decision support tool that provides a risk score based on clinical and biological biomarkers.
Helps to make informed decisions about need for prostate biopsy for patients with elevated PSA levels.
3D genomic analysis using Hi-C
Methylation profile analysis is a powerful method of molecular analysis to improve the classification of tumors.
Classification for CNS, brain, and other tumors.
Immunohistochemistry identifies protein levels in tissue cells.
Combination of histology and immunology that helps pathologists diagnose diseases, such as cancer, and predict treatment responses.
Particularly useful for antibody drug conjugates, for example HER2, PDL1 etc.
In situ hybridization (ISH) is a laboratory technique that finds and identifies specific DNA or RNA sequences in cells.
Provides insights into gene function and disease processes.
HER2 copy number.
A pan-cancer highly sensitive blood test.
Evaluates 1229 cfRNA mutations and 1004 cfDNA mutations.
Full coverage of NCCN recommended variants for lung cancer.
Biomarkers covered: EGFR, ALK, KRAS, ROS1, BRAF, NTRK1/2/3, METex14 skipping, RET, and HER2.
Additionally, PD-L1 testing is recommended to guide the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors.
Results provided in as little as 2-3 days.
OnkoSkan™ is a non-invasive blood test to help detect and monitor cancers.
The OnkoSkan™ lab test accurately measures hPG80 (circulating progastrin), which is elevated in blood samples from patients with various types of cancer compared to healthy individuals.
The first and only clinically validated biomarker for metastatic colorectal cancer.
PersonaCRC assesses the risk of spread, recurrence, and overall survival, to help clinicians identify the most effective treatment strategies and improve patient outcomes.
DNA & RNA test analysis of over 600 genes.
Measures mutations, copy number changes, fusions, TMB & MSI in FFPE tissue.
A prostate cancer decision support tool that provides a risk score based on clinical and biological biomarkers.
Evaluates ALK, RET, ROS1, NTRK 1,2,3, and MET exon14 skipping mutation in FFPE tissue.
A prognostic test that helps surgeons and endocrinologists to make important decisions on the clinical management of papillary thyroid cancer.
Protean’s exclusive whole exome genetic test for hereditary cancer, that covers over 22,000 Genes
Focused gene panels are available for all cancer types.
Protean also offers a comprehensive panel that includes all of the currently known genes associated with hereditary cancer risk.
Information can also be used for bioinformatics, pharmacogenomics, and other inherited syndromes.
