Your records go with you, in one click

A PhD scientist reviews the case and weighs in. OpenCancer pre-fills the Cancer intake from your records and carries your consent, so nothing gets retyped and nothing moves without your say-so.

Why Cancer exists

Cancer Commons is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has helped more than 10,000 patients with advanced cancer. PhD scientists analyze your case, translate complex genomic data into plain language, and help you and your oncologist evaluate treatment options, clinical trials, and testing, regardless of where you live or your ability to pay. Founded by Marty Tenenbaum, PhD, a scientist and cancer survivor.
