Cancer Diagnostic Navigation and Consulting Services
Cancer Diagnostic Navigation Services
This is a service for patients who are already diagnosed with cancer.
Navexio helps cancer patients get the best and most comprehensive biomarker diagnostic tests that may not be offered or available during their normal course of care. This information will be used to help patients and their care team understand the root cause (or genomic mutations) driving their type of cancer.
Leaving no stone unturned and using an evidence-based approach guided by precision oncology principles, Navexio identifies these gaps and works with the best laboratories in the world to perform the required biomarker testing.
Navexio then uses the results from these additional tests to educate patients on their cancer’s biomarker profile and empower them to engage in a discussion with their cancer care team for shared decision-making to optimize treatment planning.
Comprehensive diagnostic testing is essential early in your diagnosis
During the cancer diagnostic work-up for patients, gaps in our healthcare systems can lead to insufficient biomarker testing resulting in sub-optimal cancer treatment planning.
One of the most important steps in the early stages of a cancer diagnosis is to ensure that the cancer has been tested with the most current and comprehensive technologies to determine its molecular and genomic signature.
Many patients do not receive the most current diagnostic testing available, putting them at a disadvantage for the effective management of their cancers.
A patient’s diagnostic work-up of their cancer is dependent on the testing infrastructure available at their hospital, the patient’s type and stage of cancer, their geographic location, and/or reimbursement pathway.
Why Navexio is Important for Every Cancer Patient
Leave No Stone Unturned!
At Navexio, we believe that every patient should have access to the most effective and cutting-edge diagnostic technologies available.
This ensures that the patient’s cancer genomic and biomarker information is available for their medical team to allow for the preparation and management of the most appropriate cancer treatment plan.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Navigation Support for Cancer Patients
The field of cancer and diagnostics is rapidly evolving. Navexio offers diagnostic navigation consulting and cancer treatment planning services for patients and their families/ caregivers.
This is achieved through 4 steps:
ASSESS: Navexio conducts an initial assessment of whether the best possible diagnostic tests for your cancer have been performed as part of your routine care.
RECOMMEND: Using evidence-based medicine, Navexio provides recommendations and guidance to address the identified testing gap(s) by seeking additional molecular and genomic testing. To optimize treatment planning, Navexio will identify the best laboratories and tests in the world to analyze the tissue samples from your specific type of cancer.
IMPLEMENT: Navexio then coordinates tissue sample collection from your hospital and liaises with identified labs to complete the analyses with priority.
INTERPRET: Navexio interprets the lab results from the additional diagnostic testing and provides a report detailing recommendations for actionable next steps to optimize treatment planning for shared discussions your cancer care team.
