TGen, Ashion and HonorHealth: Organoids can help pinpoint the right therapies for cancer patients

(The Translational Genomics Research Institute) A new program called PATRIOT, developed by the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), an affiliate of City of Hope, is using organoids -- laboratory cultures derived from samples of patient tumors -- to provide a new level of accuracy in prescribing anti-cancer treatments. PATRIOT builds on other precision medicine programs devised by Ashion Analytics, a TGen clinical laboratory, which uses its GEM ExTra ® proprietary test to match each patient's unique cancer to the best available cancer treatments.
