Oncompass Medicine, founded 14 years ago by 2 physicians and researcher, has several times in its history pioneered the use of molecular diagnostics for supporting clinical cancer treatment strategies. For example, in 2003, for the first time ever, a patient was prospectively given a targeted therapy to correspond to its EGFR driver gene mutation. The treatment resulted in a multi-year progression free survival. One of the founders, Dr Istvan Petak, Phd., is a regular speaker at international conferences about personalized oncology and molecular diagnostics (e.g.at the annual conference of the European Society for Medical Oncology, or at the Personalized Medicine World Conference in San Francisco).
Oncompass is owned by private individuals (including reputable European scientists and doctors, and international healthcare investors) and PortfoLion, (a Venture Capital Fund under the JEREMIE program of the European Commission).
