Each year 45,000 people die from the disease. Cancer is an individual disease. No two patients have the same tumor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cancer is caused by defects in the DNA.&nbsp;Targeted medication&nbsp;repairs the mutations in these cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Extensive DNA tests on a tumor can provide treating physicians with additional information about the clinically relevant properties of the tumor (biomarkers) that may be indicators of a favourable response to treatment. Changes to the genetic profile (mutations) can sometimes provide indicators for a treatment that directly addresses these mutations. This is called targeted therapy. DNA tests can also help when selecting patients for studies or experimental medication.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"151\" height=\"151\" src=\"https:\/\/oncoact.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/ICON-DNA-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-117\" style=\"width:38px;height:38px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">DNA test<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Hartwig Medical OncoAct\u00ae<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hartwig Medical OncoAct\u00ae is software&nbsp;developed by Hartwig Medical Foundation&nbsp;that analyses WGS data for cancer diagnostics and treatment decision making purposes.<em>&nbsp;<\/em>This software, based on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/oncoact.nl\/how-does-oncoact-work\/?lang=en#wholegenomesequencing\"><em>whole genome sequencing<\/em><\/a> data, analyses the entire DNA of the tumor and identifies all relevant genetic characteristics that may provide indicators for treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/oncoact.nl\/en\/how-does-oncoact-work\/\">How does OncoAct work?<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--2\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/oncoact.nl\/en\/about-us\/\">Quality and Regulatory Certificates<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"151\" height=\"151\" src=\"https:\/\/oncoact.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/ICON-REPORT.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-107\" style=\"width:38px;height:38px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">OncoAct WGS report<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Hartwig Medical OncoAct\u00ae<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;OncoAct&nbsp;WGS report&nbsp;can be provided upon request. It presents a summary of the mutations and other changes in the DNA profile that may be important for proposing personalized treatment. This may involve existing registered medications. In some instances these may also be any possible indicators for participation in an experimental treatment, this will also be shown in the OncoAct WGS report. The report may not provide any further indicators for treatment options. In a limited number of cases there is no result because the biopsy contains too few tumor cells to perform a DNA analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--3\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/oncoact.nl\/en\/how-does-oncoact-work\/#patient-raport\">OncoAct WGS report<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Personalized Treatments Increasingly Important for Good Cancer Care Each year 120,000 people are diagnosed with cancer in the Netherlands. 45,000 &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-268","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
