Cancer Patient Lab, Helping Patients and Caregivers Navigate Cancer Care

Brad Power
Founder and CEO, Cancer Patient Lab

We are a patient-led non-profit helping patients and their caregivers navigate the complexities of cancer care through education, access to cutting-edge treatment options through our network of service providers, and a caring community offering insights to guide you through your journey.

Three key areas where we could offer value to people living with advanced cancer:

1. Patient Needs Assessment – This easy to use tool will help cancer patients process their diagnosis and prioritize areas where they may need support by helping them define their values, needs and goals as well as ongoing needs around mental health, financial and practical support. The output of this assessment is something patients can also take to appointments to discuss with their care team.
2. Interactive Cancer Patient Journey – A roadmap of possibilities, this interactive journey tool will help people diagnosed with advanced cancer understand their disease journey and different treatment pathways available to them at different stages of the journey. Each step will have clickable sections where patients can access information, tools and resources to support decision making.
3. Personalized Cancer Services Guide – This builds on the work we’ve already done in developing a guide of diagnostic and treatment services for advanced cancer patients, Designed by cancer patients, the Guide will be organized into 20 categories including physical health (e.g. testing, treatment) and mental and emotional health (e.g. care and end of life support, cancer community support), which can be filtered based on cancer type, stage, journey stage, geography and other factors.

We are actively seeking grant funding to help us deliver these solutions. If you are able to support our work through a donation, or by volunteering your time to validate and help test the solutions, let us know!

Thank you for your continued support.
