Why Travera exists
Travera tests your live cancer cells against FDA-approved drugs to identify which treatments have the best chance of working for your specific cancer. The technology was developed at MIT and measures how tumor cells respond to up to 20 physician-selected drugs from a panel of more than 100. In early studies the test matched actual treatment responses in 80% of cases.
