Free Cancer Tumor Gene Screening Raises Eyebrows, Contextual Genomics Reveals
Free cancer tumour genetic screening? That's the unusual offer from Contextual Genomics, a private company in Vancouver.
Starting this month, the first 1,500 Canadians who get their oncologists to send in their tumour samples will have their cancer tested using the the company's trademarked Find-It Cancer Hotspot Panel at no charge.
After that, the test will be offered for sale for less than $1,000.
