Oncotests and personalized treatment

If your disease has entered the metastatic stage and is progressing, and all standard treatments have already been tried, our oncologists can consider personalized treatment. The decision is made individually, in each case, based on the results of molecular genetic analyzes with the compilation of the genetic profile of your tumor.

Some patients may also be offered to participate in clinical trials of new drugs and methods at any stage of gastric cancer. In many cases, we are talking about expensive, effective drugs.
