Is it wise to eliminate a certain chemotherapy drug based on the test results or should there be other factors that need to be considered in this decision?

We do not recommend using ImpriMed's predictions to rule out treatment options. The company's artificial intelligence is optimized to give high positive predictive value to help you find drugs with the highest likelihood of producing positive clinical outcomes. For the bests results, our predictions should be used in conjunction with expert knowledge from a skilled oncologist.

Is this test available outside the US? Could I order the test?

Because we require live, fresh, cancer cells within 24-48 hours of doing a fine needle aspiration, we are ONLY offering our services in North America at this time. If you already had an experience of sending biopsy samples to the US in 24-48 hours, we could discuss the work further. Please contact info@imprimedicine.com.

How do vets report back the outcomes to feed back into the AI model? Is this something that can be easily done via the Vet portal?

We usually send you an email asking for patient records about 3-6 months after you receive the final ImpriMed report. Once we receive the record, we input the data into the AI Models, it is not yet something that can be submitted on the Vet Portal.
