Jul 14, 2021 at 02:37 pm by admin


At West Cancer Center, personalized treatment is standard practice. Onciu promotes our culture of tailored care with customized specimen handling and reporting, direct communication with oncologists, and support for diagnostic techniques to serve each patient accurately and efficiently with (sometimes) smaller samples.

Onciu will help establish West's first hematopathology lab, which will provide integrated reporting, concentrating the results of all ancillary studies performed on every bone marrow sample in one final report with summarized diagnostic and prognostic significance.

The goal of this initiative is to extend services beyond West Cancer Center, allowing the community to access this program, bringing a new realm of service across the MidSouth.

Onciu brings over 20 years of pathologic evaluation experience to our network. Having worked in both academic and national lab settings, Onciu has gained in-depth understanding of oncology needs with respect to rapid, decisive, clear, and quality diagnosis of hematopoietic neoplasms, along with evaluation of the prognostic features specific to each disease.
