maintrac
Using the maintrac® method, the success of treatment can be monitored prior to, during and after therapy.
Monitoring and individual adaption of cancer therapies with maintrac®
The maintrac® method can be applied with almost every solid tumor, whereby it contributes to the treatment of each cancer type.
- maintrac® for malignant melanoma / black skin cancer
  Basically the success of treatment in black skin cancer can be monitored through the number of circulating tumor cells in the blood.
- maintrac® for breast cancer / mamma carcinoma
  Both in adjuvant as well as in neoadjuvant therapy, maintrac® can help to monitor breast cancer therapy and make an optimization if required.
- maintrac® for colon cancer / colon carcinoma
  With maintrac® the effectiveness of chemotherapeutic agents can already be tested prior to the colon cancer treatment.
- maintrac® for lung cancer/ bronchial carcinoma
  maintrac® is able to support the control of therapy success and helps choosing promising therapy strategies regarding the stage of disease and treatment.
- maintrac® for ovarian cancer / ovarian carcinoma
  With the possibility of testing various substances with maintrac®, the patient already gets to know the substance most likely to be effective against the CETCs even before starting chemotherapy.
- maintrac® for prostate cancer/ prostate carcinoma
  In particular in the situation of watch-and-wait in prostate cancer, maintrac® can be applied for active surveillance.
- maintrac® for stomach cancer / stomach carcinoma
  After cancer therapy is successfully accomplished, the calculated course of cell counts of maintrac® can be an indication wheter stomach cancer stays in remission or is about to return.
- maintrac® for other types of cancer
  maintrac® can also be applied for further tumor types, such as sarcoma, to monitor the therapy and/or characterize the therapy-relevant properties.
Applications
Apart from monitoring, maintrac® offers further advantages through the cell counting which can play a role for the optimization of cancer therapy.
- Circulating tumor cells as a tool to monitor cancer therapy
  Through the accompanying determination of cell counts with maintrac®, it is possible to optimize and personalize the treatment during the whole course of disease.
- Testing of agents for their propable effectiveness
  With maintrac® it is possible to identify the drug which is likely to be most effective prior to the therapy.
- Individualization of cancer therapy
  Certain substances (targeted tumor therapies) only prove useful if tumor cells exhibit the relevant properties.
- Long-term monitoring with circulating tumor cells
  An increase of circulating tumor cells (CETC / CTC) in the blood can be determined with maintrac® and may indicate new tumor activity.
Application of maintrac® in various therapy situations
maintrac® can serve as a significant tool in various therapy situations when making decisions regarding the subsequent treatment.
- Behavior of tumor cells in neoadjuvant therapy
  In neoadjuvant therapy, maintrac® can assess the effectiveness of treatment and draw attention to relapses at an early stage.
- Behavior of tumor cells in adjuvant therapy
  In addition to the monitoring of therapy success, maintrac® is able to identify medications which are most probable to be effective on the circulating tumor cells in the blood.
- Behavior of tumor cells in the metastatic situation
  In the metastatic situation, the maintrac® cell courses should be interpreted individually due to various possibilities of interpretation.
- Dynamic of cell counts in the hormone / maintenance therapy
  During hormone and maintenance therapy, maintrac® can also support the monitoring of cancer diseases as well as the decision making concering further therapies.
- Watch-and-wait approach for specific types of cancer
  During the „watch and wait“ approach, maintrac® can keep a close check on tumor activity.
