Optimize Patient Management

Health Care Providers

The DiviTum® TKa test can help oncologists make confident treatment decisions

  • Allows health care providers to track a patient’s response early on—and at any time
    point as clinically indicated throughout treatment.
  • Complements traditional imaging—particularly if CT scans are difficult
    to interpret; assesses non-measurable disease that may not be
    detected with conventional imaging

DiviTum TKa is a tool that can help guide more personalized treatment strategies for post-menopausal women diagnosed with HR+ metastatic breast cancer.

Thymidine kinase (TK) plays a key role in DNA synthesis and cell proliferation. Studies have shown that TK activity (TKa) is elevated in actively proliferating cancer.1,2

The Science Behind TKa

The DiviTum® TKa test helps you determine which patients are—or are not—responding optimally to CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy and may benefit from continuing therapy.3,4
