CancerHackerLab is dedicated to helping advanced cancer patients navigate their testing and treatment decisions.
We are a virtual global collaborative community helping patients and caregivers resolve complex cancer problems.
We host Cancer Hackathons – which are curated online communities of brilliant patients, researchers, and bio-informaticians who have come together to solve each patient’s unique problem.
Why Hackathons?
Cancer patients experience many breakdowns in our health system.
Some frontline treatments are not curative and patients run out of options. They are beyond the standard of care and clinical trials, and have ‘hit a wall’. Everyone is unique, which means that for many people the “standard of care” process doesn’t work. They need to search for their own unique solutions, which can feel lonely and overwhelming.
We invite a global, cross-discipline and cross-institutional crowd of patients, researchers, providers, pathologists, and bioinformaticians to “hackathons”, where the complex cases of individual patients are analyzed, and their best next treatment is determined.
