Advanced Diagnostics for Stage 4 Colon Cancer
The clinic uses detailed diagnostics to create a personalized plan. This process includes several key steps.
- Oncologist consultation: The first step is an appointment with the specialist. This typically costs around $100.
- Imaging studies: Scans assess tumor location and spread. An abdominal MRI may cost $540 to $1,500. A chest CT with contrast is around $336.
- Genetic tumor profiling: Tests analyze the cancer's molecular makeup. Options include KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF tests, each around $707. An MSI test is $396, and a HER2 test is $95.
- Comprehensive genetic screening: A full panel costs approximately $1,600. This helps guide targeted and immunotherapy decisions.
Personalized Treatment Options
Treatment is based on the diagnostic results. Liv Bona Dea offers a full spectrum of systemic therapies.
- FOLFOX Chemotherapy: This is a standard chemotherapy regimen. One treatment cycle may cost around $1,200. It is typically administered on an outpatient basis.
- Targeted Therapy: Doctors use this if genetic tests show certain mutations. It involves drugs that specifically attack cancer cells with those mutations.
- Immunotherapy: This option is effective for tumors with high microsatellite instability (MSI-H). It helps the patient's own immune system fight the cancer.
The choice between chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy depends on your test results. The medical team will discuss the best plan for your specific case. For a detailed evaluation and personalized treatment proposal, you can contact the clinic directly.
