Problem
Current methods for monitoring cancer progression often involve invasive procedures, such as tissue biopsies, which can be costly, time-consuming, and pose risks to patients. The need for frequent monitoring to assess treatment effectiveness and detect recurrence presents a challenge due to the limitations of traditional biopsy methods. This creates a demand for non-invasive, real-time monitoring tools that can provide comprehensive insights into a patient's cancer status.
Solution
RUBYnanomed offers the RUBYchip™, a microfluidic liquid biopsy device designed for non-invasive cancer monitoring. This technology analyzes circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and other biomarkers in blood samples, providing a comprehensive cancer snapshot. The RUBYchip™ enables oncologists to monitor cancer progression in real-time, facilitating timely and informed treatment decisions. By eliminating the need for sample preparation and offering higher selectivity and sensitivity, the RUBYchip™ provides a cost-effective solution for frequent cancer monitoring. The device's ability to deliver earlier diagnoses through non-invasive analysis enhances patient outcomes by enabling personalized treatment strategies.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes oncologists and clinical partners seeking non-invasive, real-time tools for monitoring cancer progression and making informed treatment decisions.
