RGCC Oncocount

Enhance your odds in the fight against cancer

RGCC Oncocount is a follow-up tool for cancer patients undergoing treatment, offering insight into the effectiveness of therapies and monitoring disease progression. Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) serve as potent biomarkers, their presence in the bloodstream signaling a potential resurgence of cancer.

How it works?

The RGCC Oncocount test serves as a monitoring tool utilized during and post-treatment to assess the effectiveness of your cancer therapy and facilitate early detection of recurrence or relapse. Enumerating circulating tumor cells (CTCs) acts as a prognostic factor, assisting clinicians in anticipating the disease progression and executing appropriate treatment approaches. 

How it is done?

RGCC Oncocount test uses state-of-the-art Flow Cytometry technology to isolate the Circulating tumour Cells from the blood samples with exceptional viability rates. Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) tests are specifically isolated using negative selection technology.

This innovative approach ensures that all cancer cell populations are captured. By employing this comprehensive methodology, we can provide a more thorough and precise count of your CTCs, thereby offering a more reliable assessment of your cancer status.

Why choose RGCC Oncocount?

Why choose RGCC Oncocount? 

RGCC Oncocount delivers two crucial pieces of information:  

  • CTC presence
  • CTC concentration in the bloodstream. 

 

CTCs presence: Can be used as a predictive biomarker to set the stage for further analysis, including molecular profiling, immunophenotyping, gene expression assays, and sensitivity assessments of various treatment modalities. 

CTC Concentration: Is often correlated as a prognostic indicator, Higher CTC counts are associated with poorer prognosis and increased risk of disease progression and recurrence. 

A significant decrease in CTC numbers following treatment may indicate a positive response to therapy. If the decrease in CTC count is low, it may indicate the necessity for adjustments in treatment protocols or even incorporating supplementary therapies. 

During remission, the CTC count aids in identifying early signs of disease recurrence or relapse. 

Which cancers are tested?

Oncocount used as a follow-up test offers insight into the effectiveness of cancer therapy and facilitates early detection of recurrence or relapse of several cancers.

The test applies to all types of cancers except the one in the central nervous system and is not just limited to the following.

Useful Information

A simple non-invasive test to monitor cancer.

We suggest undergoing followup tests every three months during active cancer treatment to evaluate the efficacy of the ongoing treatment plan.

Every 3 months for 1 year after completing the treatment to monitor for early relapse/recurrence. Once patients achieve full remission, the test is recommended every six months.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Absolutely, tests can be performed while undergoing treatment to assess the effectiveness of the treatment against cancer.

    RGCC Metastat is an effective test for identifying secondary tumors development and its potential location. It helps detect secondary tumors through analyzing Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) in the bloodstream. The test provides valuable insights into disease progression and metastasis.

    Your blood sample undergoes processing in cutting-edge laboratories by scientists and technicians to deliver insights into your cancer cells.

    Tests personalize treatment regimens by providing crucial information on drugs and therapies tailored to effectively target cancer cells.

    Yes, all RGCC tests utilize blood samples. However, certain cancers, like glioblastoma and brain tumors, may require additional samples such as CSF or tissue. Otherwise, a peripheral blood sample alone is enough.

    Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) are cancer cells that have detached from the primary tumor and circulate in the bloodstream. Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) are a subpopulation of CTCs and both serve as biomarkers for cancer.

    Yes, tests like aCGH can pinpoint the origin of an unknown primary tumor by analyzing genetic abnormalities present in tumor cells.

    Tests like ChemoSNiP and CAMBISeq provide information on the body’s response to the drugs and sensitivity to immunotherapy.

    Monitor CTCs for early detection!

    Detect the potential recurrence of cancer early with precise monitoring of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs), you can take control of your cancer journey. RGCC Oncocount empowers clinicians and patients with proactive monitoring to stay ahead in your fight against cancer.
