KPS Diagnostics is your partner in successful and personalized therapy using molecular targeted anticancer medication.


In Hungary, similarly to other countries in the European Union and USA certain special and in many case expensive medications - supported by National Health Insurance Fund reimbursement - requires special molecular diagnostic analyses that are precise and fast. KPS’s diagnostic laboratory provides a complex and constantly developing platform, which complies with all the diagnostic challenges and ensures close to 100% specificity and sensitivity in a cost effective way. In our molecular pathology laboratory we use the latest international technology and our in-house developed innovative methods for our molecular pharmacodiagnostic services.


There are several types of biomarkers already available which help the oncologist to make the right choice in the optimal treatment protocol for each patient. Currently the greatest increase in physician demand is to be expected in the case of tests for Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) inhibitors. KPS provides routine molecular analysis of pharmacodiagnostic markers EGFR and KRAS since 2004 for patients suffering from colorectal and non-small cell lung cancer. Analyses of other diagnostic markers are already under development to be all set for clinical use when they are indicated in the label of any drug or serves as a condition for reimbursement by any payer.


We can analyze practically any type of tissue sample previously taken for diagnosis that contains tumor cells, let it be tissue samples taken during operation, surgical, endoscopic or needle biopsies fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin blocks, or even cytological smears. A regular test takes 10 workdays from the arrival of the sample. Our laboratory has carried out more than 3500 sequencing reactions from DNA samples isolated from archived tissue samples during the last 5 years.
