Primary Cancer Treatments

Fight cancer with our support

 

At Esperance, we have a team of specialists carefully weighing all of your primary cancer treatment options to create a plan that is personalized. Precision medicine involves testing the drug sensitivity profiles of the patient’s cancer cells, helping us decide which treatments may limit possible adverse effects and maximize results. In choosing the best targeted therapies for the patient, Esperance uses next-generation sequencing (NGS), which analyses the genetic structure of the cancer cells. This is being combined with Watson for Genomics, a very advanced database tool developed by IBM to correlate the genetic findings with targeted therapies. From there, our cancer experts will recommend a combination of treatments that are most effective to the patient. Learn more about our approach to primary cancer treatments.
