What this app does
CancerDAO Clinical Trial Matching compares the diagnosis, stage, treatment history, location, and available biomarker details in your record with current trial criteria. It produces a shortlist for you and your oncology team to verify; it does not decide eligibility.
Who this app is for
For patients or caregivers who want a structured starting point before discussing research options with an oncologist.
A practical example
A patient with advanced lung cancer can combine the latest pathology, prior treatment lines, molecular findings, location, and performance status into one reviewable trial-match report.
What you get
A report that separates possible matches, missing eligibility details, and reasons a study may not fit, with source links and access dates.
How it works
1. Open the app
Choose this app from the CancerDAO Apps page.
2. Review the available context
CancerDAO checks the relevant information already saved in your private health record and tells you what may still be missing.
3. Create and review the result
Generate the document or tracker, review it, and confirm medical decisions with a qualified clinician.
Information this app can use
Required to get started
- Primary cancer diagnosis
- Cancer stage
- Treatment history
Helpful if available
- Molecular or genetic test results
- Country or care location
- Performance status
The public page never shows your medical data. The app reads relevant information only after you open CancerDAO.
Safety and limits
CancerDAO helps organize and explain information. It does not diagnose cancer, prescribe treatment, or replace professional medical judgment.
Trial status and eligibility can change. Only the study team can confirm eligibility, available slots, travel requirements, and costs.
This app may use current external evidence. Check source dates and eligibility details before acting.
