Watch the complete presentation above for detailed insights into our personalized cancer care approach. The executive summary below covers key points from our video “Astron: Your Research Partner for Personalized Cancer Care”, presented by Ben Whately, Chief Executive Officer at Astron Health.
Executive Summary
Astron Health exists to solve a major challenge in cancer care: there’s a huge amount of scientific research available, but very little of it is applied to individual patients. With over 100,000s of cancer research papers out there, it’s impossible for any doctor to keep up—no matter how experienced.
Astron acts as a personal cancer research team, using a mix of expert insight and powerful technology to make sense of this research and apply it to each patient’s case. The process combines:
- Genomic test results that show what’s driving a patient’s cancer
- Input from leading oncologists and bioinformatics experts
- Advanced computer models that scan and analyze the entire body of cancer research
- A detailed review of the quality and relevance of each study, based on a patient’s unique molecular profile and treatment history
Astron’s goal is to support clinicians, not replace them. It provides clear, personalized insights that help identify treatment options based on each patient’s specific cancer drivers. These may include existing drugs used in new ways or evidence-based supplements.
By doing this, Astron helps uncover more personalized treatment options that target the unique molecular vulnerabilities in a patient’s profile—treatments that might otherwise be missed.
While personalized care is proven to improve outcomes, it usually requires time and resources that most clinics don’t have. Astron makes it possible by bringing scientific rigor and cutting-edge analysis into the hands of doctors and patients, making personalized cancer care more practical, precise, and accessible.
Astron advances precision oncology through data-driven research, providing specialized reports to patients under oncologist supervision when our insights may benefit treatment decisions. Patients should discuss with their clinician whether an Astron Report could support their care, or we can connect them with qualified oncologists familiar with our platform. Clinicians interested in collaboration opportunities can contact support@astron.health.
