RGCC Cancer Testing

Dr. Lindgren is a certified RGCC (Research Genetic Cancer Centre, Greece) provider who is proud to offer advanced cancer testing to Green Bay and beyond. 

Using advanced diagnostics, these tests help detect cancer early, monitor treatment effectiveness, and tailor therapies to the individual’s specific cancer profile. It’s the perfect complement to functional medicine. Instead of hitting the entire body with chemotherapy or other harsh treatments, we can target cancerous cells with accuracy.

If you are at risk for cancer or have a diagnosis and want an alternative form of treatment, contact Lindgren Functional Medicine to start RGCC cancer testing in Green Bay.

Why Did Lindgren Functional Medicine Choose RGCC?

RGCC offers several tests, including cancer screening, baseline and follow-up monitoring, and detailed assessments of tumor responsiveness to chemotherapy, targeted drugs, and natural substances. RGCC also provides advanced therapies, such as supportive oligonucleotide therapy (SOT) and dendritic cell therapy, which aim to enhance the body’s immune response to cancer. 

These tools and treatments are designed to offer a more targeted, effective, and less toxic approach to cancer management, tailored to each patient’s unique genetic and molecular profile.

All testing is done with ‘liquid biopsy’ (fancy speak for blood draw).  I don’t have exact pricing yet, but we should have that this week. RGCC’s screening test (Onco d-clare) is far superior to Galleri – it is much more sensitive (~93%) and detects the presence of a malignancy light years earlier. For those with no known history of cancer, the Onco d-clare test is recommended for yearly surveillance.

In addition to screening, RGCC offers several different tests and interventions to guide cancer therapies and monitor progress. For example, the ‘Onconomics’ testing outlines which therapies will be effective for an individual’s cancer. The SOT is an IV treatment designed for individual patients that stops their specific cancer from replicating. The names don’t help explain what they are, so I briefly describe each. Please see the attached document for your reference.

How RGCC Supports Your Cancer Journey

Dr. Lindgren can choose which test to administer based on your unique situation.

Oncotrace: Pre-Diagnosis

These tests are designed to establish a baseline before treatment and track the effectiveness of ongoing cancer therapies. It is suitable for all types of cancer, excluding those affecting the central nervous system. By detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood, it identifies their origin and activity, helping assess the likelihood of cancer recurrence or spread.

Oncotrail: Post-Diagnosis

This test is used when the origin of cancer is already identified (such as breast, colon, or lung cancer). It helps monitor specific cancer types over time and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment. By detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs), it offers detailed insights into the cancer’s behavior and the potential for recurrence.

Oncocount: During Treatment

Cancer testing isn’t just for the beginning stages. This test focuses on measuring the number of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood. It is valuable for monitoring the effectiveness of cancer treatment across all types, excluding those that affect the central nervous system.

  • Helps tailor treatment plans to increase effectiveness and reduce side effects.
  • Identifies which natural substances are most effective against your cancer.
  • Provides information on how these substances can block cancer growth and stimulate the immune system.
  • Focuses specifically on natural treatments to find out which ones work best for your cancer type.
  • Evaluates your immune system’s status to see if you are eligible for certain types of immune-based therapies.
  • Helps guide the use of personalized cellular therapies for cancer treatment.

RGCC Advanced Diagnostic Tests

  • Used when the primary origin of cancer is unknown.
  • Detects genetic changes that may indicate where the cancer started.
  • Analyzes how your body metabolizes drugs to help predict which cancer treatments will work best for you.
  • Helps customize treatment to minimize side effects and maximize effectiveness.
  • Predicts whether a secondary tumor is likely to develop and where it might occur.
  • Advanced sequencing test that looks for specific genetic mutations in your cancer cells.
  • Helps determine if certain immunotherapy or targeted therapies could be effective for your treatment.

Other RGCC Therapies

  • Targets and blocks essential processes of cancer cells or infections (Lyme and other tick-borne infections, EBV, HIV, etc), preventing them from reproducing.
  • Administered as a single IV dose and remains active for up to six months.
  • An immune-based therapy that activates your immune cells to find and destroy cancer cells. Involves three IV treatments over several weeks and provides long-term immunity.
  • Uses parts of dying cancer cells to stimulate the immune system to attack and destroy cancer cells. Administered through injections over several weeks to enhance long-term immunity.
