Improved Clinic Workflow

 

Urologists that work with PathNet receive the patented Lumea BxBoard© that maintains tissue orientation and reduces tissue fragmentation providing more data for the urologist on the final report.

Partin and Han Table generated from clinic provided data to help determine the best treatment for each patient

Partin Tables
Partin tables aid in predicting the likelihood of prostate cancer spreading beyond the prostate using clinical stage, PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels, and Gleason score. Partin Tables assist physicians in determining the best treatment options prior to surgery.
Han Tables
Han tables aid in predicting the likelihood of recurring prostate cancer after surgery. Risk is assessed through PSA levels, Gleason score, and clinical stage. These tables help physicians guide additional follow-up and treatment decisions.

Integrated Molecular Testing

 

Avoid unnecessary delays by using conditional test ordering at the time of biopsy. TruCore offers conditional test ordering based on each physician’s pre-defined criteria. By pre-ordering molecular testing, you can reduce overall turnaround time to <10 days post-biopsy vs the typical 60+ days.

Patient Education Resources

 

Free educational resources for your patients to help them understand their diagnosis and read their report.

RFID Tracking

 

All of TruCore’s specimens are tracked from the bedside to the glass slide. You can follow the progress of each tissue digitally up until the final pathology report is received.
