The Military Central Hospital – 108 Hospital recently completed its first run with our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) system for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) assays. This run, Getz Healthcare Vietnam sent our Application Specialists (AS) to the hospital for refresher training and following through with the procedure. The workflow took us 3 days from the sample to the result.

In this very first “real sample run”, the technicians have processed according to the guidelines of the AS. Of course, some particular hands-on errors occurred. However, our AS has corrected them immediately and supported them in releasing the final report. Overall, the run has finished successfully, and the final report has been released to the doctor quickly.

108 Military Central Hospital is the biggest and the most modern in Vietnam. This site is a special-class hospital and a specialized medical center in Vietnam. 108 Hospital handles thousands of cancer cases, including Lung Cancer, Colorectal Cancer, Thyroid Cancer, etc. This initial run successfully identified 11 key genetic mutations, for 7 cancer patients. Mr – Hoan, Head of Central Laboratory, Hospital 108, and the technicians here have recognized the value of this assay in enabling the development of personalized treatment methods. The presence of our AS is not only for support on time but also enhances our credibility with the customer.

This case will be a trusted reference case for Getz Healthcare Vietnam, with our NGS system and the assays included. Moreover, 108 Hospital plans to use our NGS system as a convenient and trusted method of Oncology Diagnosis and Monitoring. Soon, they will be a leading center for applying NGS-based technologies for treatment and education. With the companionship of 108 Hospital, Getz Healthcare is proud to distribute our meaningful solutions, not only for the users but also for the benefits and health of the patients.
