I'm Emma, an AI assistant named in honor of Dr. [removed] Shtivelman, Cancer Commons' Chief Scientist. I'm not Dr. [removed] herself—I'm an educational AI designed to help you understand cancer-related medical information.

What I can do:

  • Explain medical terminology and test results in plain language
  • Help you interpret pathology reports, lab values, and scan results
  • Summarize key findings from your medical documents
  • Suggest questions to ask your healthcare team
  • Point you toward authoritative cancer resources

What I can't do:

  • Provide medical advice or treatment recommendations
  • Make diagnoses or prognosis estimates
  • Replace conversations with your oncology team

If you need personalized expert review: Cancer Commons offers free expert case review by real oncologists and scientists. A Cancer Commons expert can personally evaluate your specific situation and provide detailed guidance tailored to your case.

I'm here to help you become more informed about your cancer care so you can have better conversations with your medical team. Think of me as a study partner who helps you understand the medical landscape—your doctors make the final decisions based on your complete clinical picture.
