Fujita Health University and BostonGene Expand Access to Genomic Cancer Testing with Tumor Portrait™ at Haneda Clinic
Fujita Health University and BostonGene, a leading provider of AI-driven molecular and immune profiling solutions, announced today that the Fujita Health University Haneda Clinic will now offer genomic profile testing for cancer patients utilizing the BostonGene Tumor Portrait™ test.
The comprehensive genomic test supports oncologists by identifying actionable mutations, microenvironment properties and biomarkers of response by integrating DNA and RNA sequencing results with patient clinical profiles, selected treatment options and available clinical trials into one simple report.
Building on the foundational research first published in Cancer Cell in 2021, the Tumor Portrait™ test reveals the key drivers of each tumor, including cancer-associated genetic mutations, immune system interactions, biomarkers predicting response to various therapies and personalized treatment recommendations. The Tumor Portrait™ is an award winning, CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited, approved clinical test widely used by leading academic and community oncologists across the U.S.
At Fujita Health Haneda Clinic, patients also have access to cutting-edge therapies, including oncological gene therapies that use genetic analysis to provide faster diagnosis and more effective personalized treatment options, including relapses. This service offers greater accessibility to life-changing genomic testing and treatment.
Dr.Hideyuki Saya, Director and Professor of Fujita Cancer Center, said, "I am very excited that the Tumor Portrait™ will be available at Fujita Health University for the first time in Japan. This is expected to not only benefit patients but also have a positive impact on cancer research." Dr. Tamotsu Sudo, a Professor at Fujita Health University and Director of the Department of Cancer Genomics, said, "With Fujita Health University's introduction of a cancer gene panel test, which can also predict the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors, it is expected that the most effective treatment can be selected for patients, minimizing unnecessary treatments and side effects."
“We are proud to partner with Fujita Health University and Haneda Clinic to make the BostonGene Tumor Portrait™ test accessible to more cancer patients in Japan. This collaboration represents a significant step in advancing precision medicine and ensuring that more patients can benefit from tailored therapies that improve outcomes and enhance quality of life,” said Yukimasa Shiotsu, PhD, President of BostonGene Japan.
