El Hospital de Dénia He has opened this week its new Laboratory of Molecular Oncology, which will offer customized treatments to cancer patients by performing both genetic studies to support clinical oncology service, such as data analysis for scientific production.
The inauguration was attended by the Manager of the Department of Health of Dénia, Ángel Giménez; Mayor JaveaJosé Chulvi; the Vice Chancellor for Research at the University CEU Cardenal Herrera, Ignacio Pérez Roger; the Vice-Consul of the United Kingdom in Alicante, Elizabeth Bell and Coordinator Cancer Care Jávea, Eileen Saville.
And this partnership has made possible thanks to an important economic contribution, the implementation of the laboratory of molecular oncology. Joining them have been Marina Health and Cardenal Herrera CEU University of Valencia, making their cooperation in this laboratory in the only laboratory of its kind available in Valencia for the diagnosis of cancer patients outside the university and hospitals reference.
Laboratory of Molecular Oncology at the Hospital of Dénia has a genetic sequencer that allows oncological process samples to determine the genetic profile of each tumor. Thus it can be supplied on demand chemotherapy for cancer patients, resulting in greater safety. In addition many of the side effects caused by the drugs used in cancer treatment, such as cytostatics are minimized.
The laboratory work in which a multidisciplinary group of oncologists, pathologists and pharmaceuticals, led by a biotecnólogo; It will also be responsible for genetic studies for analysis of cancer markers, oncogenes by sequencing that will determine if there is genetic mutation or polymorphism. Other of the many applications of the new Laboratory of Molecular Oncology are studies of cardiomyopathies or hereditary diseases appearing.
