What this app does
CancerDAO Lab Trend Tracker places repeated laboratory results on a dated timeline so changes are easier to review. It preserves units and reference ranges and does not label a trend as a diagnosis or treatment response.
Who this app is for
For patients or caregivers comparing blood counts, chemistry results, or tumor-marker values across visits and laboratories.
A practical example
Before follow-up, a patient can view repeated hemoglobin, neutrophil, liver-function, or clinician-selected marker results with dates and source reports.
What you get
An updateable table or chart that preserves the original value, unit, reference range, source, and collection date.
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
- Lab results and trends
Helpful if available
- Primary cancer summary
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.
Different laboratories may use different methods, units, and ranges. A single abnormal value or change is not self-interpreting.
Frequently asked questions
