Why Nagourney exists
Nagourney Cancer Institute provides CLIA-certified functional testing (EVA/PCD) for solid and hematologic tumors. Drugs and combinations are applied to the patient's fresh tumor tissue and the response is observed directly, with turnaround ranging from two days to six weeks. For a patient choosing between treatments, results can add confidence that a drug will work. Obtaining fresh tumor tissue can be a limitation.
