When ovarian cancer returns and treatment options become harder to choose, a novel lab test called the SAGE Oncotest may help guide a better-informed treatment decision.

In contrast to other standard cancer diagnostics, this test evaluates how a live sample of your own tumor tissue actually responds to various treatment options.


This test is designed to complement and go well beyond genomic testing alone, so that the most effective therapy can be selected.


It is ordered by your oncologist or one of our trusted partnering physicians and uses tissue collected during an upcoming biopsy or surgery.
