# The cancer dataset that does not exist yet.

Every time the software helps a patient reach the right care, it learns something: what was found, what was decided and what happened next. Over time, that becomes a prospective, outcome-linked registry.

Why it matters

## Some of the most important questions have almost no data.

Much of what is known about rare cancers comes from small, retrospective studies at single institutions. Appendiceal cancers and low-grade mucinous tumors are examples, as is the question of where regional therapies such as HIPEC fit best.

A registry that follows patients from the first finding to the outcome, across the health systems they pass through, can help answer them.

Privacy first

## Identifiers are removed before anything enters the registry.

Patient information is kept only as long as it is needed to help refer the patient. Identifiers are cleared before a record is admitted to the registry.

The registry and our software are used to improve the software's accuracy over time and, ideally, to improve outcomes for patients.
