Precision medicine enables doctors to treat cancer patients on an individualized basis, thus increasing the chances of being cured. German Genethics assists them in finding the right therapy for each patient.

Optimal therapy with the aid of Big Data: German Genethics combines the molecular-genetic diagnosis of individual cancerous tissue with the cumulative knowledge about various cancerous conditions and their treatment. This results in a well-founded individual treatment plan.

The German Genethics database, which is unique throughout the world, links information from renowned trade journals and highly specialized molecular-biological databases with the latest research results from clinical trials and knowledge about recognized treatments. By means of complex algorithms, this Big Data solution can sort the characteristics of each individual DNA sample. “Big Data” thus becomes “Smart Data”.

Using the most modern procedures of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), German Genethics analyses the DNA of the cancerous tissue obtained from the patient. The database compares the tumor DNA with other cases and reviews the treatment options. A written recommendation for the doctor then summarizes all of the relevant information regarding suitable therapies.
