  • Rational Therapeutics Newsletter - February 2012
  • Every cancer patient has questions, no matter what the diagnosis: Can I be cured? Which are the most active and least toxic treatments for me? Is further chemotherapy likely to be beneficial? Many of these questions can be better addressed with the use of objective, scientific, personalized information in the form of functional profiles. We see the role for "rational therapeutics" in each of these situations.
  • Rational Therapeutics Newsletter - November 2011
  • November marks Lung and Pancreatic Cancer Awareness month. Both these diseases typically remain undetected until the cancer has spread. With comparatively low response rates to treatment, both of these diagnoses are generally associated with unfavorable survival statistics. With this as a backdrop, these two diseases have provided some of our most striking successes.

  • Rational Therapeutics Newsletter - Nov 2010
  • "Targeted therapies" are classes of drugs that focus on specific pathways considered tumorigenic (tending to produce tumors). This type of treatment is more sophisticated in killing cancer and has proven to produce far fewer side effects.
    To learn more about these leading-edge therapies and how patients can have their samples tested against targeted agents at Rational Therapeutics.
  • Rational Therapeutics Newsletter - Sept 2010
  • This has been quite an exciting summer for Rational Therapeutics. In June, we attended the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting in Chicago to present the findings of our “Phase II Trial of Personalized Chemotherapy In Stage IV NSCLC: Clinical Application of Functional Profiling in First-Line Therapy.” The results were compelling and very well received.
