BC-043 Director of Community Outreach, Debra Melamed speaks with Regional Sales Director of Foundation Medicine, Amy Macalintal about their comprehensive genomic profiling tests
These tests are for people with a cancer diagnosis that are considering chemotherapy, have had traditional treatment that has failed them, or for someone who has had a reoccurrence. Their tests detect genomic alterations on cancer tumor cells’ DNA. They help your doctor to identify more potential treatment options than other available tests because they analyze all genes known to be relevant in human cancers. The test report includes the identified genomic alterations and provides information on which targeted therapies, immunotherapies, or clinical trials are a match. This personalized approach makes getting the right treatment for your personal cancer possible, saving patients time, money, and the repercussions of negative side-effects from broad-based treatments. They offer 3 different test that must be ordered by your doctor, FoundationOne Heme (for leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma), FoundationACT (liquid biopsy when a tissue biopsy is not possible), and FoundationOne Cdx (primarily for non-small-cell lung, breast, prostate, colorectal, melanoma, and ovarian cancers) For more information go to www.foundationmedicine.com. You can learn more about this test and others by taking the Cancer Free University Course. It is 50% through this link https://beatcancer.org/

TEDx speaker, author, and cancer recovery specialist Avinoam Lerner has a thriving practice in the Boston area. His innovative approach to healing is based on the fact that cancer is a whole body process. Treatment only applied to the physical body separates one’s physical and emotional being leaving treatment incomplete. Therefore, it is equally important that cancer patients be given resources to support the emotions they are feeling so they can become empowered. Avinoam offers these vital resources in his 6 week online Cancer Wellness Mastery Program. Join us for this podcast, and learn
