Los Angeles oncologist Dr. Michael Benjamin, MD is one of the first physicians to embrace this technology. "The Genelex gene profiling technology is a powerful tool to help my patients. With tamoxifen testing, we can appropriately individualize treatment based on patients' ability to process the medicine."

Benjamin regularly advises his patients to take Tamoxitest(TM)." Genelex tamoxifen testing helps me be smarter about who I treat with tamoxifen, and why. I can take the discoveries made in their labs right to the patient's bedside," states Benjamin. "I see it as the wave of the future in medicine."

Maura, a breast cancer patient, says that she ordered Tamoxitest(TM) after she was diagnosed. Found to be an intermediate metabolizer, the patient and her doctor have opened a dialogue about her dose of tamoxifen. "It was worth the information - and peace of mind - I received," she concluded. Most insurance companies cover the test.
