What Makes us Different

The Value of Comprehensive Diagnosis & Interpretation in the Tumor Board

With a wide range of laboratory tests available on the market, identifying the most appropriate test for each patient can often be confusing. Microdiagnostics stands out by offering integrated diagnostic services performed by professionals with expertise in molecular biology and histopathology (anatomic pathology). This important integration allows us to:

1. Directly correlate tissue morphology, protein expression, and gene expression in both normal and tumor tissues, providing valuable information for personalized treatment planning.
2. Issue results from histological, Immunohistochemical, and molecular testing, as this consolidated final report represents the most accurate diagnosis for appropriate and timely therapeutic decision-making (surgical, pharmacological, radiation therapy, or a combination thereof).

Our medical team, in collaboration with the attending clinician, consults to proactively address personalized cases. In doing so, we achieve:

• The most appropriate test strategy for each patient sample
• Recommendation of appropriate reflex testing
• Co-development of a monitoring strategy for treatment effectiveness
• Delivery of all relevant clinical and laboratory findings (histological, Immunohistochemical, and molecular) in a single report
• Comprehensive analysis without unnecessary tests or delays

Many laboratories increase the financial burden on the healthcare system and create confusion for clinicians by performing redundant tests. We operate differently. We offer Integrated Diagnostic Services based on Evidence-Based Medicine, performing sequential tests and analyses on a single sample, in a single laboratory. The management and care of an oncology patient are significantly enhanced by coordinating all laboratory tests and results through a multidisciplinary evaluation. By using advanced, complementary technologies, Microdiagnostics conducts stepwise testing on a single specimen to maximize clinically relevant information and deliver a complete diagnostic profile.
