Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) are cells that have detached from the primary tumor and flow into the blood or lymphatic circulation creating a secondary tumor. Despite their rare population, these cells exhibit metastatic attributes and are related to cancer progression.
The R.G.C.C test is a test for patient’s seeking personalised cancer testing where it has the ability to:
-Detect early signs of developing cancer
-Help monitoring existing cancers
-Produce an individual profile of chemotherapeutic drugs and natural substances that can be used to achieve the best treatment outcomes.
Metastat: Markers on CTC’s that point out the potent organ for relapse. From literature, numerous markers are associated with specific tumor organ metastases.
The Metastat test is a collection of specific markers that are detected on specific organs. Cells of the primary tumor that have the ability to metastasize will express specific genes and proteins according to the organ that will metastasize, and that is given by the genetic information.
