Cancer patients, pharmaceutical companies, and clinical trial contract research organizations (CROs).
The Center for Precision Medicine of Chi Mei Hospital integrates expertise in pathology and precision medicine to establish a service platform covering the entire process from cancer genetic testing consultation clinics to testing and result interpretation. It also builds a comprehensive ecosystem encompassing assay development, validation, collaboration in clinical trials, and the real-world implementation. The genetic testing consultation clinic is led by pathologists with expertise in pathological diagnosis, targeted therapies, genetic testing, and cancer genetics, providing a complete workflow that includes test explanation, pathology review, specimen assessment, report issuance, and interpretation of genetic reports.
Through various molecular testing technologies, the team maximizes specimen usability, overcomes multiple barriers faced by cancer patients in accessing genetic testing, and comprehensively enhances the accessibility, usability, and clinical utilities of genetic testing. The core laboratory also collaborates with pharmaceutical companies and CROs to hasten the translation from assay development to clinical application and to comprehensively optimize patient enrollment in cancer clinical trials.
