Do you need me to provide you with passwords for the hospital accounts?

No, we don’t need the password to associate the doctors and hospital. Once we register it, the password will be sent to the corresponding emails.

Are patients on drug treatments when we look at the progression-free survival graph?

Yes, probably the patient would be taking some form of drug treatment when we look at the progression-free survival graph. Basically, the patients were not treatment free at the time.

Why should I order ImpriMed services?

ImpriMed offers a unique precision oncology service that helps you to find the best anticancer drugs for your patients. ImpriMed directly tests a panel of commonly used anticancer drugs on your patients’ live cells in our A2LA accredited lab. In addition, we continually collect patient outcomes that are updated via regular follow-up with pet parents. As our database grows, so does the performance of our anticancer drug response predictions and your ability to develop a personalized treatment plan for each pet patient. So, when you order an ImpriMed service, you are actively contributing to our dataset and helping to improve cancer care for your patients and the ImpiMed user community.

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.
