What happens when the treatment you rely on stops working, leaving you and your loved ones searching for answers?
Sarah was a vibrant young woman whose life was shattered when she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. After undergoing radioiodine therapy, she felt hopeful—but a few months later, her follow-up scans revealed a troubling truth: her cancer wasn’t responding as expected. This unsettling news left Sarah and her family in a state of uncertainty, grappling with the fear of an elusive disease.
Sarah’s journey is not unique; many thyroid cancer patients face a similar fate, particularly those grappling with a condition known as TENIS—Thyroglobulin Elevated Negative Iodine Scan. In response to this pressing challenge, our innovative approach seeks to change the landscape of treatment.
Overview
By analyzing the expression of the NIS gene in thyroid cancer patients who have responded to iodine therapy versus those who have not, we aim to uncover predictive patterns of biological behavior pre-operatively. This groundbreaking research could lead to more tailored treatment strategies, potentially saving countless lives and providing hope where there once was no
Value Proposition
- Personalized Treatment Plans:
Patients can receive customized treatment strategies based on the predictive analysis of their tumor’s biological behavior, improving the chances of effective intervention and better outcomes. - Early Identification of Resistance:
By identifying potential resistance to iodine therapy early on, patients can avoid unnecessary treatments and swiftly transition to alternative therapies, reducing the emotional and physical toll of ineffective treatments. - Enhanced Monitoring and Support:
The integration of advanced imaging techniques like PET CT and external beam radiotherapy will provide more comprehensive monitoring of disease progression, allowing for timely adjustments in therapy and a supportive care approach tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
