For Physicians and Healthcare Providers

Current blood liquid biopsy technology tests for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), or circulating tumor cells (CTC) shedding in the blood, as well as proteins, and/or DNA methylation or other modifications. Micronoma takes this technology a step further with a multi-omics approach. In addition to testing for proteins, we query a multitude of circulating tumor microbial DNA (ctmbDNA) to derive a more sensitive and specific identification of the presence of cancer in a given patient.

OncobiotaLUNG^detect:

A simple and minimally invasive diagnostic option that physicians can use to determine if a lung biopsy is the best option for their patient

That is what Micronoma aims to deliver with its proprietary Oncobiota™ platform: using a simple blood draw and analyzing the circulating tumor microbial DNA (ctmbDNA) signals in conjunction with a few proteins, that indicate whether a lung nodule is cancerous or benign. With experts and key opinion leaders in the microbiome field, we have created the first and only technology using a plasma microbiome-driven liquid biopsy to enhance cancer detection at its earliest stages.

Provider Services

For your patients who are exhibiting nodules on a LD CT scan, we provide a new solution, OncobiotaLUNG^detect, to assist you in establishing a benign or malignant risk category so that you only direct invasive follow-up methods (e.g. tissue biopsy) when you feel it is absolutely necessary.
Oncobiota™ assay, run in our CLIA-certified and CAP accredited laboratories, is a sensitive and accurate test that is less invasive than a lung biopsy to help determine whether a patient does or does not have cancer
We help you offer your patients the latest innovation by integrating microbiome-driven tests into your practice

Provider support and education: We provide ongoing education on our assay as well as the microbiome, and explanations of patient reports/results so we can help you effectively integrate microbiome-driven tests into your practice.

FAQs

I have my own tubes for blood collection in my clinic, can I just use those and send you the patient samples?

No. Micronoma has done extensive testing with many different tube types, and the ones we have provided in the kit are the ones approved for our assay. In addition, the Micronoma OncobiotaLUNG^detect kit has everything you need to send your samples back safely and effectively, and at no cost to you.
