Testing

Your records go with you, in one click

Ex vivo testing that shows which drugs the tumor actually responds to, before committing to one. OpenCancer pre-fills the SageMedic intake from your records and carries your consent, so nothing gets retyped and nothing moves without your say-so.

Why SageMedic exists

SageMedic runs the SAGE Oncotest: your live tumor tissue is tested against multiple FDA-approved drugs and combinations in a CLIA-certified laboratory, so your oncologist can see which treatments your specific cancer responds to. Available nationwide, with international samples accepted.

I know from my experience with my father that these are not easy times. That is why I gave up my day job at UCSF and started SAGE: to give patients and their oncologists a much deeper insight into which treatment is most likely to be effective for them.
