Quantitative Cytology Laboratory¹

We are committed to providing:

• the highest quality diagnosis
• rapid, industry-leading turn-around times
• novel and leading-edge diagnostic tests

OralAdvance™ – Test for oral cancer

OralAdvance™ is the first quantitative cytology test for the early detection of oral cancer. With recent advances in visualization techniques for the oral cavity, dentists are encountering more lesions of potential interest for diagnostic biopsy. OralAdvance™, with its cyto-brush sample collection kit, provides dentists with a new option for assessing these lesions. To order call 1-888-629-8779 or visit www.oraladvance.com.

LungSign™ – Risk assessment for lung cancer

LungSign™ is the first test to market to offer a safe, virtually painless and convenient method of assessing a patient’s risk of lung cancer. It is based on an automated quantitative cytology analysis of sputum. LungSign™ also serves as a highly relevant and useful complement to current radiological diagnostic methods (e.g. CT).

General Quantitative Cytology

Quantitative cytology provides physicians with improved cytopathology assessment based on an objective measure of large-scale DNA abnormality that can indicate precancerous or cancerous changes. These improvements are in 2 major areas:

• It improves the sensitivity of conventional cytological analysis in many tissues, including offering improvement where cytological findings are non-specific (atypical)
• It provides physicians with better prognostic information as aneuploid tumours are, in general, more aggressive than diploid or tetraploid and aneuploid pre-cancerous lesions are more likely to progress

Our service utilizes advanced, proprietary cytometry technology and assessment by certified cytotechnologists and cytopathologists. Any cytological specimen can be analyzed using quantitative cytology including:

• liquid-based cytology samples
• direct smears
• cytospin preparations
• touch preparations
• fine needle aspiration specimens
• Thinprep® and other monolayer preparations

These services are available to both the physician and research communities. To order or for more information call 1-888-629-8779.
