Most of radiotherapy treatment protocols require daily sessions, and these repeated trips to the radiotherapy center also can contribute to fatigue.

FIRST TESTS TO PREDICT A PATIENT’S RADIOSENSITIVITY
NovaGray develops and commercializes the first radiotherapy tolerance tests for patients treated for breast or prostate cancer.
Performed before the start of radiotherapy with a simple blood draw, the tests assess the patients’ individual radiosensitivity and determine their risk of developing late complications after radiotherapy.
WHY DO A RADIOSENSITIVITY TEST?
Knowing a patient’s individual radiosensitivity is important information that can help:
- Reassure the patient in preparation for radiotherapy
- Guide physicians in choosing the most appropriate treatment plan
- Adapt patient follow-up after radiotherapy
