Cancer Treatment Timeline

---

With cancer, how accurate your diagnosis is and how fast you begin the correct treatment can make all the difference between life and death.

Within 10 days:

• You’ll receive the results of an initial liquid biopsy (ctDNA, cfDNA).*
• You’ll receive the results from an MMR/MSI test.*
• If you choose, you can be seeing a different oncologist who can help you access advanced targeted therapies.
• You might be able to begin a targeted treatment immediately, based on your personal genetics.
  • When compared to standard treatments, targeted treatments improve outcomes and survival rates.^1,2
  • As the chief of medical oncology at Yale Cancer Center, Prof Roy Herbst, said at a recent ASCO conference, precision medicine is "about targeting treatment so that it’s more powerful, while reducing the toxicity, so there are fewer side-effects"
  • That same conference saw impressive statistics proving the efficacy of targeted therapies: "In trials using precision medicine, tumour shrinkage rates were 30.6% compared with only 4.9% in those that did not."
