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

Information this app can use
Required to get started
- Country or care location
Helpful if available
- Treatment history
- Current medicines
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.
Coverage rules, formularies, and assistance programs change. The insurer, hospital, or program administrator makes the final coverage decision.
This app may use current external evidence. Check source dates and eligibility details before acting.
