Nagourney Cancer Institute

Nagourney Cancer Institute At Nagourney Cancer Institute (formerly Rational Therapeutics), we believe that every cancer patient deserves the right treatment the first time, every time.

Your cancer is as unique as your fingerprint. Drugs that work for one patient may not work for another, even if they carry exactly the same diagnosis. We offer testing that measures how your cancer cells will respond to drugs BEFORE you receive them. This testing helps select the most effective and least toxic drug regimen for your cancer. Our founder and medical director, Dr. Robert Nagourney, ha

s been internationally recognized as a pioneer in cancer research and personalized cancer treatment for over 20 years. He has worked 20+ years refining a process that examines the biology of your tumor to identify the most effective, least toxic treatment for YOU. Our patients have been shown to be twice as likely on average to respond to a cancer treatment when chosen in our laboratory compared with standard treatment protocols. With these results, you and your doctors are equipped with personalized information to make the most informed decision to treat YOUR cancer. Truly Personalized Cancer Care.

Not every story follows the expected path.

Steve Lockwood was facing Stage 4 pancreatic cancer — with limited options ahead.
What came next wasn’t a standard protocol, but a more personalized way of understanding how his tumor responds. 🔬

His journey is a reminder that treatment decisions don’t have to follow a fixed script.

Because cancer isn’t average -and treatment shouldn’t be either.

More clarity and direction = More informed decisions.

When first-line treatment stops working, the next step can feel uncertain. 🧬

In many cases, patients are moved to another standard regimen without specific information about how their cancer may respond.

Functional profiling at Nagourney Cancer Institute is designed to add another layer of insight. By testing cancer cells against different treatment options in the lab, the process helps identify which therapies show activity before the next treatment decision is made. 🔬

For patients and families, the goal is simple: more information, more clarity, and a treatment conversation grounded in the biology of the cancer itself.

Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most difficult cancers to treat.

Individual tumor response varies significantly - yet treatment is often based on population averages. ❌

At NCI, we evaluate real tumor behavior to guide therapy decisions. 🤍

A 2023 meta-analysis of 10,000+ cancer patients showed something the oncology world can’t ignore:

When treatment was selected based on measured tumor response -survival improved. Response rates improved.
Yet most pancreatic cancer patients are still treated from a standard list, not based on how their tumor actually responds.

That’s the gap we close.

For 30+ years, Dr. Nagourney has used Functional Profiling to measure how your cancer cells respond to drugs - before treatment begins. 🩵

Cancer doesn’t start when symptoms appear.
It begins much earlier, at the level of metabolism. 🔎

Mass spectrometry allows us to study how the body is functioning in real time, revealing early signals of imbalance, deficiency, and disease. 🦠

Progress in cancer care doesn’t always come from doing more of the same. 🦠

More often than not, it comes from asking better questions.

Why hasn’t survival improved? And what if we treated each tumor based on how it actually responds? 🔬

“Cancer doesn’t grow too much.
It dies too little.” 🧫

For decades, treatment has focused on stopping growth.
But what if the real question is:

Why aren’t these cells dying?

At Nagourney Cancer Institute, the focus shifts to understanding how cancer cells respond, and more importantly, what actually works to eliminate them.

Because cancer isn’t just about growth.
It’s about survival.

And that’s where the strategy changes.
