Personalised Diagnostics – more than just measuring values.
IMMUMEDIC Diagnostics combines immune status, tumour count and tumour dynamics with selected inflammation, vitamin, thyroid, hormone and tumour markers as well as individually requested molecular and genetic diagnostics.
Immune Status TBNK · CTC / Tumour Count · Tumour dynamics · Biomarkers · Hormones · Molecular diagnostics
What should be considered together in cancer?
1 · Immune System: Immune status TBNK to describe key immune-cell populations.
2 · Tumour activity: CTC/tumour count and repeated measurements for tumour dynamics.
Four Diagnostic Levels
Not every patient requires the same tests. Selection depends on the diagnosis, treatment situation, available findings and the specific clinical question.
What is the immunological baseline?
Immune status TBNK as a baseline or follow-up measurement.
How is the course developing?
CTC measurement, tumour count and comparable follow-up measurements.
Which additional biological information is relevant?
Inflammation, vitamins, thyroid, hormones and selected tumour markers.
Which further tests may be useful?
Individual molecular and genetic test panels according to the medical question.
Immune Status TBNK – what does the test include?
The immune status describes selected cell populations of the immune system and can be used as a baseline or follow-up measurement.
Key Immune-Cell Populations
- CD45+ Leukocytes
- CD3+ T Lymphocytes
- CD19+ B Lymphocytes
- CD3− CD56+/CD16+ natural killer cells
- CD14+ Monocytes
- NKT cells
- absolute and percentage cell values
Sample, Price & Order
Immune status does not replace tumour diagnostics, imaging or histology. For oncological questions, combining it with CTC/tumour counting may be useful.
Order Immune StatusTumour count and tumour dynamics
Cell-based follow-up information with several comparable measurement points.
CTC / Tumour Count
CTC measurement detects circulating tumour cells in the blood as supplementary follow-up information.
Why several measurements?
Measurement 1: Baseline Value
Measurement 2: Change
Measurement 3: structured follow-up / tumour dynamics
CTC results are always interpreted together with the clinical course and established oncological diagnostics.
What is sent for blood collection?
The kit is assembled according to the selected test. Final shipping and pre-analytical instructions follow the requirements of the responsible laboratory.
Stato immunitario
EDTA 2,7 ml
For TBNK immune status.
CTC / Tumour Count
EDTA 9 ml completely filled
For CTC measurement / tumour dynamics.
Serum Parameters
Z-Gel 7,5 ml
For selected inflammation, vitamin, thyroid, hormone and tumour markers. For multiple serum parameters, according to the current laboratory offering, one Z-Gel monovette per submission may be sufficient.
For cancer, do not order isolated values only.
Immune status and tumour course are brought together as different diagnostic levels in a structured way.
Oncology Basic
- 1× Immune Status TBNK
- 1× CTC / Tumour Count
- EDTA 2,7 ml + EDTA 9 ml
Oncology Monitoring
- 1× Immune Status TBNK
- 3× CTC / Tumour Count
- multiple follow-up measurements
Oncology Plus
- 1× TBNK + 1× CTC
- Ferritin + Cortisol + IL-6
- Vitamin D + Active B12
Entzündung, Mikronährstoffe, Thyroid & Hormone
Inflammation / Stress
Ferritin, IL-6 and cortisol.
Vitamins
Vitamin D, vitamin B12 and active B12.
Thyroid
TSH + fT3 + fT4.
Hormones / Fertility
Basic and extended hormone profiles, AMH, FSH, LH, estradiol, androgen profile.
Selected tumour markers
Tumour markers are always interpreted in the clinical context and are not suitable as a stand-alone cancer diagnostic.
PSA
Prostate-related marker.
CEA
Depending on the clinical question.
CA 19-9 / CA 125
Depending on tumour type and clinical context.
CA 15-3
Depending on the clinical question.

Diagnostics already included in the DCT treatment price
When dendritic cell therapy is carried out through IMMUMEDIC, 2× Immune Status Check and 3× tumour count/tumour dynamics are part of the agreed total price.
Diagnostics in video
Immune status, tumour counting and tumour dynamics can often be explained more easily visually. The IMMUMEDIC media library therefore complements the written laboratory information.
