Performance in sport has always been a central pillar of my life, but I believe true victory lies not just in the glory of medals, but in the power to bring hope to those who need our support the most. I won my first European medal when I was 14 years old. Thinking of my father’s encouragement, I felt an unshakable determination in my heart. As a female athlete from a young age, as a supporter of the Romanian youth swimming team, and as a mother, I believe wholeheartedly that these children can win in life.However, they need our support, and that’s where we come in, all of us: the parents who are close to them, the medical staff who care for them, MedLife’s free genetic testing program, and anyone in their network who can share , the benefit could give children recently diagnosed with cancer another chance at life, claims Beatrice Clarueswimming champion, and won medals in all major competitions.

The #SperanaNuMoareDeCancer program launched on February 15, 2023, and has benefited 350 children, representing more than half of those recently diagnosed with cancer.
In this program, pediatric patients benefit from one of the world’s most sophisticated oncology disease sequencing tests, which analyzes mutations in 523 genes associated with multiple cancers. Based on the results obtained from the test, oncologists can choose the most appropriate treatments and therapies for each patient based on the mutation profile of the tumor.
With our advanced technology, Illumina TruSight Oncology 500, we can identify important biomarkers, from the most common to rare, to discover the mutations at the root of cancer. Dumitru Jardan, a biologist and head of MedLife’s Genetic and Molecular Biology Laboratory, said this new approach to customized medicine is likely to be the key to targeted therapies that bring better outcomes to patients and families. Come to hope.
