Testimonials

WHAT OTHER PATIENTS SAY

The Coremine Vitae report helped me in my medical evaluation. It also helped me take the right decision as to which surgery and treatment I should have in line with my surgeon and doctor’s recommendation. It helped me see the global context as the report gave insight on what goes on in other countries and mentioned the medical trials taking place. It also helped me ask the right questions to my surgeon and oncologist.

Breast Cancer Patient, London, England

Vi ble gjort kjent med Coremine Vitae via bekjente etter at vår sønn fikk påvist uhelbredelig kreft. Fra vår første kontakt opplevde vi at teamet var seriøse og profesjonelle. Vi ble godt ivaretatt, og det var viktig å kunne diskutere våre tanker og spørsmål med noen utenfor det offentlige systemet som innehadde den nødvendige kompetansen. I vår situasjon var det viktig å være oppdatert på den nyeste forskningen og vite at ingenting skulle være uprøvd. Ettersom det offentlige er bundet av et strengt rammeverk med hensyn til hva som er etablert behandling og det tar lang tid fra utprøving av nye legemidler til det blir tilgjengelig i klinikken, var Coremine Vitae essensielt for oss.

Coremine Vitae har vært og er en god støtte for meg og min ektemann. Materialet fra Coremine Vitae har økt vårt kompetansenivå om kreftsykdommen og gjort oss i stand til å stille relevante spørsmål om behandlingsvalg, og ved behov også utfordre behandlende leger, både på onkologisk og kirurgisk avdeling. Vi er godt fornøyde med dialogen med Coremine Vitae. De yter svært god service, er effektive og tilgjengelige.

Ingjerd Vestengen, Pasient

Gjennom samarbeidet med PubGene har mange av Hjernesvulstforeningens medlemmer fått tilgang på sin egen CoreMine Vitae rapport som et supplement til sin ordinære behandling. Hjernesvulstpasienter i Norge har ikke noe standardisert verktøy for samvalg og beslutningsstøtte. Gjennom rapporten har de fått råd om aktuelle behandlinger som er tilpasset deres personlige medisinske profil, basert på deres genetiske profil og sykdommen. Rapporten har dermed medvirket til at pasienten i større grad kan ta beslutninger om behandling og muligheter for deltakelse i kliniske studier, gjennom å legge bedre til rette for samvalg.

HOW DO WE DO IT
As a patient you might have difficult choices ahead of you.
Normally, with your diagnosis,
your doctor will explain what treatment
has worked best for most people.
This is called standard of care.
But each person and each case is unique, and different people might benefit from different treatment.
This is called precision medicine.
You can get access to personalised treatment by providing your doctor with more specific information about your case.
In Coremine Vitae, a multidisciplinary team will work on your case and compile evidence based information on your disease and your genetic profile.
This information is unique to you, like your fingerprint.
A scientist from our team will explain to you and your doctor all your treatment options, including clinical trials and emerging treatments.
Now, you and your doctor can take the most informed decision about what treatment option is best for you.

With the Coremine Vitae you get a multidisciplinary team of scientists and doctors working on your case. The team is here to provide you and your doctor with personalized evidence based information about your possible treatment options  You will get a dedicated patient contact you can communicate with through our secure portal. In our first meeting we will have an onboarding conversation. In this conversation we listen to your medical journey and together map out your needs and preferences.
You get an overview with an accurate description of your journey, together with other relevant information needed to make decisions. It will provide you with a clear overview of your health situation, and an assurance that your medical records are correct. You can use the patient summary in consultations with different doctors, giving them a quick way of understanding of your situation.
Our team will make an easy-to-understand graphic illustration of your past, current and possible future treatment options. This section will tell you not only what comes next, but give you an assurance if the treatment you have gotten so far is the gold standard on the market. It will empower you with knowledge when navigating the health care system, when meeting healthcare professionals and to give the clinician the most up-to-date research tailored to your case.
The biomarker status may determine whether you are eligible for getting a targeted therapy. The biomarkers may also predict the outcome of a treatment and tell you how likely the prognosis of a treatment will be.  We do not provide genetic testing, but can assist you in finding out where you can test for additional biomarkers.
In this module we also provide a list of the most promising emerging treatments that are likely to be accessible for you. These can be through a clinical trial or as off-label use. We cannot apply for clinical trials for you, but we can help you find where to apply.
This module gives you suggestions based on evidence that may have a positive impact for you both psychologically and physically, improve quality of life and offer other health benefits that are related to changes in lifestyle.
You will get a summary of the results we have found for you. As the information we provide is scientific and can be complex, we aim to explain all our findings in a comprehensive summary for you to get a quick understanding of your options. The information we provide will empower you to take charge of your own health situation and take an important part in decision making with your doctor.
The science team who has worked on your case will give you a presentation of all the information we have found for you. You can meet us physically in Oslo, or digitally through Teams. We have time to answer your questions and talk about the road ahead. We can also have this presentation together with your doctor, answering his/her questions. Our multidisciplinary team have taken the time to discuss your case and will have a deep understanding of your situation.
