Real results. Real hope. For over 30 years.
We analyze your living cancer cells to find out the drugs, combinations and sequences that are most effective for you.
This reduces the guesswork in selecting your cancer treatment by measuring how your cancer cells will respond to drugs before you receive treatment.
This helps select the most effective and least toxic drug regimen for your cancer.
Results in about 7 days.

Dr. Robert Nagourney is an internationally recognized pioneer in cancer research and personalized cancer treatment.
With more than 30 years of experience in human tumor primary culture analyses, Dr. Nagourney has authored more than 100 manuscripts and abstracts including publications in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, Gynecologic Oncology, and the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Over the past 30+ years, Dr. Nagourney and his team at the Nagourney Cancer Institute have developed a laboratory technique, functional profiling, that measures how cancer cells respond when they are exposed to a wide variety of drugs and drug combinations.
Even if you have had cancer treatments before, or your cancer has spread (even Stage 4), our testing can determine the best drugs for each patient before they receive them.
This reduces the guesswork in selecting the right drug treatment for you and is why our analysis is more powerful than genomic testing offered by most centers.
Each cancer patient is unique and their response to therapy is very different from one person to the next. Please call us today for help.
A Testing Methodology Created by Cancer Research Pioneers
We perform Functional Profiling, a laboratory technique that measures how cancer cells respond when exposed to a variety of drugs and drug combinations.
Functional Profiling is more powerful than genomic testing that most centers offer.
This approach reduces the guesswork from drug selection to find the most effective, least toxic options. Results only take 7 days.
You and your doctor can then use this information to guide your treatment.
