The Maintrac Customised Chemosensitivity Testing

The Maintrac Customised Chemosensitivity Testing

Some Circulating Tumour Cells (CTCs) can hide in the blood stream for months or years before activating and forming a second tumour. Some CTCs may even resist treatment. This test analyses how a person’s CTCs respond when exposed to a recommended chemotherapy regimen or botanical treatment. CTCs that die or survive exposure are said to be ‘sensitive’ or ‘resistant’ to the tested treatment, respectively.

Recommended therapies can now be tested. Each test is customised specifically for each patient by the requesting practitioner.

Maintrac’s Customised Chemosensitivity test can be used to:

  • Analyse if a person’s CTCs are sensitive or resistant to a recommended treatment
  • Assist practitioners in deciding on a treatment plan
  • Increase confidence in the therapy’s ability to reduce cancer spread effectively

This test can only be ordered in addition to a CTC Count.
