Title
Rational Therapeutics - Providing Intelligent Cancer Therapies
Description
Rational Therapeutics, Inc. (RTI) is a free-standing research laboratory located in Long Beach, CA. Founded in 1993 by Dr. Robert Nagourney, a prominent hematologist/oncologist, Rational Therapeutics pioneers intelligent cancer therapies that are scientifically tailored for each individual patient.
Rational Therapeutics develops and provides cancer therapy recommendations, which have been designed specifically for each patient. Following the collection of living cancer cells obtained at the time of biopsy or surgery, Rational Therapeutics performs an EVA™ (Ex-Vivo Assay) on your tumor sample to measure drug activity (sensitivity and resistance). This will determine exactly which drug(s) will be most effective for YOU. We then make our treatment recommendation. The treatment program developed through this approach is known as "assay-directed therapy."
In 2002, there will be more than 1.2 million newly diagnosed cases of cancer in the US with 555,500 Americans expected to die of cancer, more than 1,500 people a day. Fifty percent of newly diagnosed cancer patients have advanced disease that is beyond the hope of a surgical or radiation cure. Patients with advanced disease and those with recurrent disease are candidates for systemic therapy (usually in the form of chemotherapy ). The cost of cancer treatment in the US is estimated to be $56 billion dollars. Over 700 million dollars are spent on chemotherapy alone.
