Test before treatment. Biomarker Testing Awareness Month.
Every cancer carries a signature. Biomarker testing reads it, so patients can be matched to the right treatment or trial from the start.
Every cancer has a signature.
Biomarker testing looks for genes, proteins and other markers in a tumor or in the blood. The results can point to targeted therapies, immunotherapies or clinical trials, but only if testing happens before treatment begins.

Four audiences. One gap.
Testing only happens when patients, care teams, systems and payers all move together.
Four ways to test first.

Has my cancer been tested for biomarkers, and will results be back before treatment starts?

Even when testing is covered, patients fall out at every step between diagnosis and treatment: a test that isn’t ordered, a sample that can’t be read, results that arrive too late.
This March, we’re closing those gaps, one step at a time.
