In many units, clinicians use prognostication and treatment benefit tools such as PREDICT or Adjuvant!
Similar polygenic prognostic scores may improve discrimination of prognostic and treatment benefit tools such as PREDICT [ 27].
One potential explanation for this greater effectiveness is that a comprehensive application can provide more modes of treatment and tools, such as appropriate contact information for people who can support the user in different risk situations, GPS-data– based warnings of potential high-risk locations, suggestions for alternative activities, or different coping tools.
The Onco type DX Prostate Cancer Assay has been clinically validated [ 19], demonstrating that the GPS, assessed in diagnostic biopsy tissue, can predict the likelihood of the presence of adverse pathology (high-grade and/or high-stage disease), and that it complements existing pre-treatment risk assessment tools such as PSA levels, Gleason Score, and clinical stage.
Characterization of bare TFs and TFs of post treatment were performed by analytical tools such as; SEM, EDX, AFM, RAMAN and FT-IR.
20 Multidimensional tools such as TOPS (Treatment Outcomes in Pain Survey instruments 21) or the standard questionnaire of the German Pain Society 22 have been developed but those processes were not consensus driven.
Monitoring, with valuable tools such as CTC may show treatment efficacy.
New molecular tools, such as GenExpert, could avoid useless TB treatments.
Perhaps more sensitive capacity assessment tools, such as the MacArthur Competence Assessment Tool--Treatment (MacCAT-T) should be evaluated for use in this setting [ 56, 58].
Through these partnerships, companies have contributed both financially to the Global Fund and through innovative tools such as workplace prevention campaigns and investment in supplies, testing and treatment.
