DiaTech Oncology Partners with Cancer Hope in Israel to Provide CorrectChemo Test
Nashville, Tennessee (PRWEB) January 20, 2015 -- DiaTech Oncology, provider of CorrectChemo®, the industry leading functional drug response profiling test that personalizes cancer treatment, has signed a partnership with Cancer Hope in Ra’anana, Israel to offer CorrectChemo to cancer patients in Israel. The CorrectChemo assay identifies, within 72 hours, the most effective chemotherapy drugs in killing cancer cells from a specific patient.
“Cancer is an international problem,” says Robert Henry, president and chief executive officer of DiaTech. “We are pleased to form this partnership with Cancer Hope to extend personalized cancer care to the international community.”
The partnership, finalized on December 9, 2014, now moves to full implementation. Cancer Hope has a successful history of introducing innovative tests that personalize cancer treatment. Currently Cancer Hope includes relationships with 14 medical centers throughout Israel.
“We are thrilled to be a part of DiaTech international expansion and are committed to contributing to the push for personalized cancer care in the healthcare industry in Israel. We strongly believe in the breakthrough CorrectChemo technology”, says Galya Kochav, general manager of Cancer Hope.
“CorrectChemo is the only test on the market that reveals to the treating oncologist the most effective chemotherapy for inducing cell death (apoptosis) in the malignant cells from an individual cancer patient. As our clinical studies show, DiaTech’s CorrectChemo test guides therapy in individual patients, leading to much longer survival times and higher cure rates, and lowers the cost of chemotherapy and cancer care compared to the present standard treatments,” says Cary Presant, M.D., DiaTech chief medical officer.
