Precision Medicine

Clay Christiansen has described precision medicine as disruptive in its ability to drive down health care costs without compromising quality or outcomes. While precision medicine as a health care strategy continues to evolve with early areas of impact on “the triple aim,” significant challenges stand in the way of its fully disruptive potential. In Lahore Medical Research Center (LMRC), we explore the current state of precision medicine, its growing ecosystem and the opportunities that lie ahead for health care and research.
Precision medicine is poised to have an impact on patients, health care delivery systems and research participants in ways that were only imagined 15 years ago when the human genome was first sequenced. While discovery using genome-based technologies has accelerated, these have only begun to be adopted into clinical medicine.

Histopathology

We perform Immunohistochemistry and special staining for more specific cancer diagnosis and research purpose. We are proud to share that we have well organized archives of Paraffin embedded tissue blocks and stained slides of various cancers.

• Diagnosis of cancers and reporting
• Histopathological studies for research purpose
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
• Cancer biomarkers Staining of tissue sections
• Preparation of paraffin embedded tissue blocks and slides
• Archiving of cancerous samples in digital and physical library

Genetics Tests

Genes are DNA instructions that we all inherit from our parents. Different “mistakes” in our genes, called mutations, can cause different diseases. Some of these diseases are rare, like cystic fibrosis or Huntington’s disease, others are common, like cancer. Genetic tests can be used to confirm the diagnosis or give you information about possible development of a disease.

• PCR
• DNA Sequencing
• Cytogenetics (Karyotyping and FISH)
• Microarrays

Molecular Biology Research

Our Scientific Working Group on Molecular Biology intend to provide full support in all molecular biology procedures, such as DNA extraction, PCR, Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis, UV-visible spectrophotometry, fluorometric enzyme assays and fluorescence-based assays.

Molecular Testing & Oncology

Our comprehensive and highly sensitive and specific range of tests can detect genetic alterations that drive tumor growth in all types of cancer. We are highly experienced in characterizing mechanisms of action of targeted therapies, particularly against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), as well as other tyrosine kinase inhibitors. We perform:

• Mutation analysis in tumor tissue and blood
• Gene amplification and translocation testing
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
• Gene expression

Histology

Our SANAS accredited histology laboratory offers a diagnostic service to both the private and public sectors. Our large team of anatomical pathologists, technologists and technicians, with vast amounts of experience offers a diagnostic and consultative service on a number of tissue samples including biopsies and resection specimens.

• Immunocytochemistry
• Immunofluorescence
• Electron Microscopy
• Neuropathology

General Diagnostic Tests

We are an industry leader in ensuring exceptional quality testing in our state-of-the-art facilities. Diagnostic tests are used to detect, confirm, or rule out the presence of a disease or medical condition. They can be used to screen for certain conditions in people who are at increased risk; to evaluate the effects of treatment; or to monitor disease progression.

• Complete blood counts
• Anticoagulant Therapy Monitoring
• Blood Chemistry Analyses
• Therapeutic drug monitoring

Naturopathic Tests

We will perform both standard and specialized naturopathic lab tests as part of the assessment process. Naturopathic doctors can order many of the same diagnostic tests as your family physician, such as blood work, stool, urine, and saliva testing. We can also perform an H Pylori Breath Test, Stool Ova and Parasite testing.

• Gastrointestinal Testing
• Laboratory Tests on Hormonal Levels
• Cardiovascular Lab Tests
• Toxins & Pollutant Testing

Cytology

Aside from tissue biopsy, cytology serves as an indispensable tool in screening and diagnosing cancer. In this technique, a cytological material is obtained from the patient, spread onto glass slides for microscopic examination, stained, screened for abnormalities and assessed prior to the issuance of a final report.

• Gynaecological Cytology
• Non-Gynaecological Cytology
• Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology
• BAL Differential Cell Count
