MISSISSAUGA, Ontario & VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Contextual Genomics, a molecular diagnostics company developing genomic based cancer tests, and the Personalized Medicine Initiative (PMI), an organization bringing molecular-based medicine to Canadians, are pleased to welcome AstraZeneca to its National Access Project consortium. The project’s aim is to make genomic cancer testing available to any Canadian diagnosed with cancer to improve precision in cancer diagnosis, enable tailored treatment options and, ultimately, support better health outcomes. AstraZeneca has provided a grant and technical advice as part of its commitment to the National Access Project for Cancer Testing.
“We are very pleased to receive the support of AstraZeneca to our National Access Project for Cancer Testing, which is a major step forward toward personalized cancer care,” said Contextual Genomics’ President and CEO, Chris Wagner. “Understanding a patient’s tumour profile will help to support an individualized treatment approach in which medication will be selected based on the genes contributing to the cancer. This will give patients access to the most effective treatment option and reduce a trial and error treatment approach.”
