The Science Behind Your Care

Cancer doesn't wait. Neither do we.

Single Site Testing Single Site Testing

Behind every diagnosis is a person asking one question:

What is the best treatment for me — not for everyone else, for me?" That question is why Datar Cancer Genetics exists

For too long, cancer treatment has been guided by population averages — what works for most people, applied to every person. We believed there was a better way. So we built it. Through advanced liquid biopsy, comprehensive tissue profiling, and functional testing on live tumor cells, we give oncologists the molecular clarity to make decisions that are precise, personalized, and evidence-backed — at every stage of the cancer journey.

  • Evidence over assumptions. Data over averages.
  • The exact molecular picture of your cancer, driving your treatment.

Our commitment to global quality is anchored by CellDx-Tissue, India’s first and only US FDA-cleared comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) assay. This milestone is a testament to our vision of delivering world-class analytical rigor, flawless clinical execution, and trusted laboratory excellence to to oncologists and patients across the world.

Our Milestones

Since our foundation in India, we have been dedicated to advancing non-invasive cancer detection and personalized therapies.

2013-2017

Began pioneering research on Circulating tumor Cells (CTCs) to create non-invasive methods for early cancer detection and treatment guidance

2018-2020

Expanded our reach to Germany and established a laboratory in the UK to bring our innovative solutions closer to patients worldwide.

2021-2022

Reached key milestones, including FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for TriNetra- Breast, a blood test to screen for breast cancer, and UK recognition for Trublood-Prostate, a non-invasive test for prostate cancer diagnosis.
