Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center Seeing Better

To more effectively treat cancer it is important to be able to better see the cancer cells.  Cellectar Biosciences INC has developed the (APC) Alkylphosphocholine tumor targeting molecule.  The University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center has established a diagnostic imaging process that utilizes the Alkylphosphocholine molecule.

Given through an IV line the molecules flow throughout the body- crossing the blood brain barrier, and inserts into the surface of the newly developed cancer cells.  Cancer cells lack the enzymes to metabolize this fluorescent  ( Alkylphosphocholine)  imaging label. This allows providers to view small forming cancer cell clusters in patients that have zero symptoms and does not show up on a typical MD exam. 

This is direct cancer cell imaging.  Providers can tell if they are viewing returning cancer tumor growth or just surgical scarring, recent inflammation with an infection, or residual treatment changes. The key to stopping this lies in the eradication of the cancer stem cells.  Viewing the cancer cells can give providers a sense of how their prescribed treatments are working to shrink the undesired cells.

Basin is a coordination service being delivered through Home Care Path https://homecarepath.sharepoint.com/Pages/default.aspx.  and is billed at 39.00 per hour.  A discovery of undesired cancer cells in the body can result in a lengthy list of changes that require the participation of an ill individual.  How to meet the increased frequency of treatment visits, diagnostic testing regimen, ongoing medication changes, and discipline specific provider contacts can prove over whelming. 

Basin is a coordination, analysis, and consultation process designed to care for individuals in the community.  Strategies include a custom care plan, medication reconciliation, rapid access to in home staff, identify primary care rapid path, track monthly household service invoices, visually place the disease process within the health treatment continuum.  This strengthens the community members ability to participate in this ground breaking diagnostic and treatment process.
